Happy 12th Birthday to us!

This day 12 years ago, Scott and Martyn grab a big ole bunch of keys from Duncan and Dee, sat down in the freezing cold on a snowy day and thought 'where do we start' and we still think that most days when we get to work

A massive thank you for all your patronage over the years, it is very much appreciated! Free tea and coffee for everyone this week (and i guess for all the weeks to come, seeing as tea and coffee is free anyway)

Also, Happy 40th to Martyn’s brother, and yet another happy birthday to Scott’s mum!

Weirdly specific card from Hallmark, i guess they'll make anything these days
