As a Holmfirth-based company, we have a wealth of advice relevant to others in the region relating to all that we have learned on our journey from initial start-up to our current scale-up phase, with lots of exciting projects in the pipeline. By coming together with others in the industry we can best support and develop local talent and enhance innovation in the region.”
