Although 2020 has been difficult due to Covid-19 and having to close for a period of 3 months and then reopen with a disrupted supply chain, in the summer the organisation was in a position to upgrade their machinery. The organisation also celebrated learning they had achieved their first six figure turnover for the previous financial year, a testament to their commitment and dedication over the past 5 years.
