It was celebrations all round at Spring Fair earlier this week when Steve Davies, managing director of Joe Davies, popped the champagne corks for customers, industry friends and colleagues, at a 100th year anniversary party held on the company’s stand.
“This is a very proud moment for us,” managing director Steve Davies told guests. “Thank you for all your tremendous support over the years.”
