A message from our chairman

As a family, and as a business, we’ve built a reputation for doing the right thing. A legacy we’re proud of. Our motivation doesn’t come solely from the bottom line and we’ve always gone about our business with consideration for the people and places around us, striving to achieve sustainable and profitable growth that provides jobs and creates wealth in the local area.

In the last year, we’ve seen sustainability taking the spotlight, with customers placing it high on the agenda. However, the year has taken an unexpected turn with the outbreak of COVID-19. Our industry changed almost overnight as the world quickly adopted a new way of life and we’ve had to adapt to survive.

We’ve been able to use our position to help the people and places around us in ways we’d never have anticipated at the start of the year. Collaborating with a local distillery we have helped produce a hand sanitising rub for use by frontline care providers. We’ve also made our products available to vulnerable families locally following the closure of schools across the country. I’m proud of what our business has achieved under these unprecedented circumstances and as the industry works its way through this crisis, our plans for the year ahead see us marry ambitious commercial targets with aims to stretch our sustainability goals even further.
