In the past five years we have grown by more than 30 per cent and invested more than £40million in our business. We are now experiencing unprecedented trading conditions but we are certainly in much better shape than many. The last six months have seen a rapid contraction in our markets and we have had to reshape the business accordingly, face difficult decisions and feel the impact of change.
One hundred years in business is a huge achievement and so many people have had a part to play in it. We remain proud to be an independent company and we have a perfect opportunity to build relationships with our colleagues, customers and key contacts.
