NEW Sustainable Packaging
We have also recently taken steps towards improving our environmental responsibility and sustainability.

Other Environmental Initiatives
Our main warehouse has been designed to reduce as much environmental impact as possible!
This includes the use of solar panels on the roof as well as an advanced underfloor heating system which is far more energy efficient than traditional heating methods.
