Based in Nelson, just outside Burnley, the company was founded in 2005 by Hadrian Thorne following a chance conversation with Crow Wood Hotel and Leisure managing director Andrew Brown, when he admitted he didn’t know where his career may next take him.
Andrew asked: “Why not set up your own business?”
So, he did and hasn’t looked back.
Now two decades in, Thorne has built up an impressive customer list including some of the area’s most established local brands, including Burnley Football Club, Veka, and, of course, Crow Wood.
Hadrian’s wife, Alison is company secretary and his son Cam recently joined the business as an apprentice after leaving school.
