Our US operation has grown in stature and is a major part of our strategy in the next 12 months as is continuing to expand our relationships within Europe and Australia.
“Every company in the business wants to be recognised by a prestigious brand like XBIZ and just getting nominated is a phenomenal achievement in itself. We owe our staff a huge debt of thanks for pulling together and making this such a great year – and thank our customers for their continued support.”
