In February, we started the year strong by moving to our new home at Westcott Venture Park, a space that has enabled us to grow and innovate. From there, we embarked on a global journey, showcasing our services and connecting with industry leaders at key events:

UK – Holyhead Port Closure 17.12.2024
Update 17.12.2024 –
We have today received confirmation that Holyhead Port will remain closed until 15th January 2025, which will unfortunately result in continued delays.
We will continue to work with suppliers and keep you informed of any developments.
16.12.2024
Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that Holyhead Port is closed due to Storm Darragh causing damage to the port itself. Holyhead Port remains closed as urgent remedial work is required. The latest communications from the port suggest that it will remain non-operational until further notice, possibly even January 2025.
We are working with our suppliers to ensure minimum delays but unfortunately, whilst traffic is directed to other ports, the additional demand has led to congestion and some unavoidable delays.
We will keep you informed of future developments.
