We came out of the year with the same team we went into Covid with and also managed to make a profit of 9%.We had our best year in New Business converting 90% of all new business and creating new products and services that generated new revenue streams.For 2020 we decided against industry recognition awards.The year taught me and the business on how to pivot, be resilient and on a personal level demonstrate leadership skills that helped lift the spirits of the team when needed and maintain a focus on what we could control.
