- “Experienced 18 months of delays and downtime with new machinery installations, leading to a huge impact on performance.”
- “Several large contracts were delayed due to disruption in the construction sector when ISG Construction fell into administration.”
- “Machinery installation issues severely impacted profitability due to reduced output, increased energy, raw materials, and direct labour costs.”
- “The organisation has committed to another important investment, taking delivery of two new Beam Saws and a Storage Retrieval System in early 2025.”
- “Secured a 24-month, 100% renewable energy supply contract with British Gas.”
