Mark Stoodley, managing director of Masters said: “Our new suite of system upgrades will essentially underpin every facet of the business by streamlining our warehousing operations, financial operations, and transport solutions.

“As a business, we are committed to reducing emissions and in turn creating a sustainable and economical business that can cater to the needs and requirements of its customers, so we took the strategic view to invest in systems that will provide such solutions, without compromising on growth and customer service.

He added: “We are confident that our £1 million investment will set the foundations for a positive new year.”
