“It was a real surprise to see my name on the list, especially for global recognition. We’re a local business but we’ve traded globally for many years. Having been acknowledged for this and how we’ve gone from strength to strength over the last few years is very humbling. We have always invested in new technology to adapt to the market needs and I will continue to look at further investments and new markets. If I look back from when I joined 42 years ago, the business has really changed and I’m proud of everyone who has been part of that journey”
