It was great to end our fiscal year on a high with our best turnover for several years and a healthy order book promising an even better one for our “F24” campaign. The year began in April 2022 and we saw a complete turnaround from the previous months in terms of a return to travel normality, more or less, albeit with numerous forms and COVID declarations to complete. That didn’t stop our sales team embarking on numerous trips across Europe and even a couple to the US, something which enabled a good return in terms of new business from new and existing customers, as well as a boost to sales of innovative technologies such as our Pro-Blend mixing and agitation system for chemicals and inks/dyes and paints. We’ve had some fun on our travels and also some time for great social events too, in nearby Oxford and the surrounding villages which are a pretty special environment where we are lucky to be based. Great cooperation and global development of relationships with our key suppliers has enabled us to look farther afield to new opportunities in territories like Brazil and Japan, something we are looking to build on in the coming months. So it’s good to pause for breath for a minute and reflect on what we have achieved and where we are headed, and of course a big thank you to all our employees, customers, suppliers, logistics partners and everyone who continues to come with us on our exciting journey – raising a glass to all of you!
