35 years
We are celebrating our 35th birthday! Well, who would have thought that we’d be celebrating our 35th birthday in the middle of a pandemic..? It all started on 26th March 1986 at Unit 8, Ashley Estate (next to Xscape - Castleford), a unit about the size of our training room! Just me, Martin and one driver with a spirations to be millionaires one day. Me and Martin are still batting away - maybe the driver made his millions elsewhere? It may sound cheesy but none of what has been achieved would have been remotely possible without our immense and exceptional employees THANK YOU! As a small gesture, please let your Line Manager know if you would like a £50 Love 2 Shop voucher OR a £50 payment through payroll OR two extra days holiday in 2021 and we’ll get that sorted. Sincerely, Arthur P.S: Life’s a lottery!
