Team, technology and customers – that’s what it’s all about. I have been involved from the start and whilst the above looks like a glittering journey, it’s not always been easy. To reach ten years old in what is an incredibly competitive industry is no mean feat but rest assured we are only just getting started. 2020 is already shaping up to be a great year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team and clients because without the support from all of you we would not have made it this far.’

When we bought back the company in 2016 there were no guarantees that it was going to work, but even I, with my high expectations am bowled over by what the team has achieved. More of the same please!’
