OUR HISTORY
Our journey is a story of rapid growth, expansion, and entrepreneurial spirit. Starting in a back bedroom in 1997, we are now a multi-million pound group employing more than 100 people. Central to it all has been a close team of highly motivated people, determined to build sustainable businesses and identify opportunities for the future. We have never been better placed to grow and cement our position at the heart of the local community.
