What a year!

Sep 2, 2020 | 0 comments

The year 2020 will be talked about for decades to come and we will all look back to talk about what we did – how we met the daily challenges confronting us. Coronavirus, Lock-down, Furlough scheme, Social distancing, Personal Protective Equipment – the list of new phrases and ways of meeting new challenges grows constantly.

The lock-down meant a back-log in work built up which – with the easing of restrictions – lead to very busy last few months for us.
Here is a little video I put together of some of the installations we have managed to do this year. I expect we will produce more videos like this – I keep hearing that social media videos are increasingly important for getting a message across – so keep an eye out for new content in the near future. Also, if you have any videos or photos of the equipment we installed at your school etc being used, please send me a copy or link as I’d love to add that onto this page – many thanks in advance!! – Ian
