EMBS Celebrates 5th Birthday!
This month, we celebrated our 5th Birthday in style. Established for 5 years at the beginning of May, EMBS has grown significantly. After rapid growth and development due to winning Derbyshire Small Business of the Year in 2005 we have made a number of changes that has resulted in further unexpected levels of success. With turnover doubling in the last financial year we are set for steady and controlled expansion and plan to take on new staff in all divisions.
Simon Bucknell said “It’s difficult to believe we’ve been in business for five years. Things still feel extremely fresh and exciting and we’re looking forward to the next five years. It’s a great feeling to know that the services we developed and took to market five years ago have been so effective for our customers. Even in difficult economic times we feel our robust low cost services will be even more popular as companies strive to reduce expenditure.”
