We are always looking for ways in which we can expand and improve on our offering and this acquisition presents an excellent opportunity to further enhance our product range supported by our long established reputation for excellence.”

The shared family values will help drive continued growth and it will be very much business as usual for the loyal and hardworking staff, customers and suppliers.”
