What it does
The company specialises in the supply of books and library furniture to public libraries, schools, academies, and other educational establishments across the UK, with some limited international business. Review of business and financial review During the course of the year, there was still a degree of disruption as a result of restrictions imposed as part of the Covid-19 recovery plan. Staff and customers who tested positive were still isolating, and this also had an impact on the main book distributors and our ability to receive and despatch books. Coupled with major disruption in the supply chain, caused by Covid-19, driver shortages and various global events, the business continued to face challenges on several fronts. The Directors are pleased to report that the business continued to trade strongly throughout this time, offering support to schools and other establishments. Despite the disruption, trading for the year saw an increase in sales of £3,167,311 representing a rise of 26%
