“Like most businesses this has been a testing time. However, our end of year results were very positive thanks to the hard work of our staff and even in these strange times the business is in good stead. Our ambitious growth plans remain undeterred. Post lockdown we’re delighted to be in a position to take on Emily, Rebecca, Shola and Naomi and wish each of them well as they step up into the next stage of their careers.”
