Welcome to our Spring Newsletter. The first quarter of 2023 has not been without challenge; however I’m pleased to report a number of exciting developments for the business. Against a backdrop of ongoing economic uncertainty and evermore concerning environmental issues, it’s easy to become despondent, however Spring is here and with new awards, team expansion, exciting new clients and a vision that keeps us true to our purpose, the team is upbeat and optimistic as we move into the lighter months. As ever, thank you for your support and I hope you find this interesting.
