“Doubling our turnover and growing the team to 53 people reflects the trust our NHS, local authority and private car epartners place in us. It also shows the commitment of our incredible staff, 95 per cent of whom come from this community.
“Our growth has always been organic and built on a simple belief: treat people the way you would want to be treated, and provide the best possible solutions.
“That ethos runs through everything, from our 24-hour emergency maintenance service to the hands-on training we now offer healthcare professionals at our new site, where we help occupational therapists, district nurses and carers feel genuinely confident using specialist equipment.
“Our new headquarters also gives us a platform to share the Lean methodology approach that has been central to our own efficiency and growth.
“We plan to offer tours and workshops to other businesses across Wales. We are also developing a new digital tool to support isolated and vulnerable patients, which we look forward to launching in the coming months.
“Having access to targeted expertise at the right time through the AGP programme has been genuinely valuable and has helped us move the business forward with greater confidence”
