We have clients spread across the entirety of the United Kingdom, all the way from Southampton up to Fife in Scotland,\u2019\u201d said Blyth-Sweetingham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe business has come an incredibly long way since it was launched from my kitchen table back in 2014. We can\u2019t wait to celebrate our ten-year anniversary next year, but before then we are hoping to be able to make lots of new business connections throughout Alcester and the surrounding
