Onrec: Do you have plans to expand globally?
TF: No, our focus will initially be on Kent, Sussex, Surrey and London but we plan to push into further locations across the UK as we grow over the next few years. We have a large network of contacts in the South East and our primary objective is to further strengthen our working relationships with those businesses over the next 12 months.
