Our Vision
Our Vision
Our unique technology is the key to our industry-leading levels of quality and speed.
As soon as your order arrives, it is assigned a digital identity and QR code so it can be tracked and quickly progressed through our formulation labs, QA, and packaging.
Throughout, everything is optimised. We automatically assign jobs to the fastest technicians for that type of formulation. And by accurately modelling demand, we always have the right people and ingredients available.
Finally our location in Birmingham, at the centre of the UK and next to all major courier hubs, enables swift delivery, providing the latest order cut-off times in the industry.
