The motivation and spirit our people showed throughout last year to keep striving for excellence, despite the challenges we all faced was inspirational. We have started the new year on a positive note, welcoming new young talent to our Manchester office and I look forward to further building on these strong foundations as we look ahead to 2021 and beyond.”
