As a company, we value quality above price, and we favour stability over growth. As we explain in our latest interim report, we believe that there are no economies of scale in a customer service industry such as ours: bigger is not better. At the same time, we try to be more than 'just' a company. For example, we're a proud supporter of AfrOx, an organisation working to improve cancer prevention and control in Africa.

What’s our story?

We started in 1992, incorporated in 1997 and relocated all our operations to Howden in 2001. We are strongly committed to remaining an independently-owned, UK-based company.

What makes us different?

A simple and straightforward approach to customer service. When the Hull Daily Mail asked our chairman, Carolyn Burgess, for the best piece of advice she had ever been given in business, she quoted Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler”.
