Good News Stories – Secondary ry Benefits Sa Sandford Or Orchards approached SWMAS reg egarding fu fundin ing ag again inst a a ne new Can Canning Lin Line for their range of Ciders, as a result of the recent Lockdown and unprecedented increase in demand: “With the closure of pubs we weren't sure if we would even be able to stay open at all. But we have been bowled over by the response from our customers to our online store. Sales have soared to 1800% of levels last year - and the first things to sell were our cans. We realised that we needed to invest in our own machine so that we could pack our own products, and offer the service to other local drink producers. Cans are light, and transport really efficiently - this grant made a difficult decision easy, it will create jobs and build the local resilience of supply for ourselves and many other producers. Thank you SWMAS for your swift and professional service” Bar Barny Bu Butterfield ld, San Sandford Or Orchards We are seeing secondary opportunities in Office equipment & furniture | IT equipment (headsets / Microphones) Home entertainment | Gym equipment | Re-shoring supply base swmas.co.uk | 01278 767 010 | info@swmas.co.uk
