It is with enormous sadness that we acknowledge the death of our sovereign Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth has played an enormous part in our lives along with her late husband, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, giving us love, security, wellbeing and strength. Remarkable gifts to us all through her dedication to her people as our Monarch. We have been most fortunate to be served by someone so exceptional, long may she be remembered.

Our thoughts and prayers are very much with the Royal Family at this most mournful time.

Following this sad news, it was formally announced at the weekend that the Queen’s funeral, to be held on Monday 19th September will be a public bank holiday. Our factory and offices will therefore be closed on this day, so we can pay respect, and honour the passing of our Queen.
