Our Clients
Ethical Sourcing
We check the labels, so you don’t have to!
In order for us to provide premium products it’s vital to ensure long-term sustainability is key to all business decisions. We’re committed to offering ethically purchased and responsibly produced products of the highest quality. We strive to work with suppliers and manufacturers who have the same earth, environment and community respect as we do!
We are very aware that we do not actually manufacture the products that are sold through our machines. We specify what we want, we chose our suppliers very carefully and we monitor to ensure that quality is maintained year in and year out. But behind the supplier is a raw material supply chain that is equally vital to giving our customers the very best products.
Environmental Impact
Be greener, reduce petrol consumption, save energy, recycle. Our comprehensive approach to reducing our environmental impact means looking at all aspects of our business, how they interact and how we can integrate new solutions to create meaningful and sustained change.
We are always looking at ways to minimise the impact we have on the environment, whether it be by reducing waste or improving the energy efficiency of our operations. Our business premises utilise roof-mounted solar panels, recycle all our paper waste and have installed LED lighting throughout our offices to reduce electricity consumption.
As the world starts to focus on the impact of businesses and individuals on our climate, we are working hard to step up and improve our environmental standing both for ourselves and our industry on the whole.
