Mayor Mike Rouse, the guest of honour, shared words of gratitude to the staff for a job well done and acknowledged the growing anticipation for the completion of the new headquarters in Lancaster Way Business Park at the end of 2019.
Until then, the business continues to expand to more locations in Ely to accommodate a growth in its manufacturing operations.
