Wow – 1 year in our new HQ in Long Crendon already! Where did that year go? A lot has happened in the past 12 months. Who would have predicted the airport chaos as the world begins to open up again? or the cost of pretty much everything spiralling out of control? Did you know...Read More
As we slowly tick close to our 20 year anniversary, I am being reminded how far we have come. From our humble beginning’s in Milton Common, to our workshop in Haddenham and then the move to our new HQ in Long Crendon, alongside our other 2 regional branches – its been quite a ride over...Read More
Its been just over 3 years now since we responded to an appeal from the Florence Nightingale Hospice charity for a van. At the time they had a van that they used for furniture deliveries spectacularly fail its MOT and needed help in funding a replacement. I’ve always wanted to be in a position as...Read More

So that was 2021. Christmas came and went in the blink of an eye again and here we are at the start of another year. And even though the spectre of covid still lingers, there seems to be a lot more hope and excitement around this year and what’s to come. So it seems a...Read More
As 2021 draws to a close, it feels like a good time to give thanks. As usual, we almost can’t believe that another year has been and gone. It feels like only yesterday that we were opening the doors, whilst in lockdown, for another year of unpredictability and hard work. And while 2021 has certainly...Read More
