History
Having operated in the business over 30 years they moved to the current site in 1993, where they have operated & grown the business substantially. Due to the success & expansion of the business they recently purchased the adjoining nursery (known as Lok-Evyn) which has now been fully intergrated. As outlined there has been a huge capital investment in infrastructure over the years (and more importantly in very recent times) all of which passes for the benefit of the new owner.
