There can be no disagreement that the last 12 months has been extremely challenging for industry in the UK and across the world.
We started 2020 full steam ahead working on the move from our old headquarters in Digbeth to our new premises at Matrix Point, Birmingham. Having initially announced our relocation and expansion early in 2019, we initially hit a few stumbling blocks that slowed down the work at our new premises, but we were able to complete our move and commission our new high speed cutting press in the first quarter of 2020.
No sooner had we completed our relocation than we were faced by the challenges of COVID-19 and the first national lockdown. In order to continue supplying our clients in essential industries, we began operating with a skeleton staff, having introduced strict social distancing and hygiene standards in order to adhere to government guidelines. We are very proud to have played a small part in supporting key workers during this time, particularly in supplying self-adhesive polyethylene free-of-charge to a company supplying protective visors for frontline NHS workers.
The New CB Frost Website
Whilst working hard to keep our team safe and to continue to meet the demands of our clients, in the background, we have also been working on a new look CB Frost website to provide an improved users experience for our existing and potential customers. We are happy to announce that our new and improved website is live, featuring a clean new look, and a clear, simple navigation to help site visitors find the information they need with ease.
Be sure to have a look around for yourself!
