- “Following the expiry of the lease of our Southend office, after careful consideration, we took the opportunity to open a new office in London Road, Leigh-on-Sea, just three miles west.”
- “In March 2025 (Q2), we were delighted to achieve a Best Companies 2-star ("Outstanding") accreditation, an improvement from our 1-star ("Very Good") rating in 2024. This reflects the progress we have made in building a supportive and high-performing workplace.”
