You can see what a team effort this has been, and the work from our employees this year in such a challenging environment has been unmatched. The past year has been an exciting journey for us – we have introduced new technologies, working in 90 countries and we are proud to say that 85% of our turnover this year has been through international exports.
Will Crawford, Director at Concrete Canvas said: “It is such a huge honour to be recognised for both Global Business of the Year and Wales Business of the Year, especially when surrounded by such incredible and impactful Welsh businesses. This is a tribute to our team, without their hard work none of this would be possible.
