More than that, the team’s loyalty has been key to building the company’s global reputation. So, he was delighted their achievement had been recognised by Her Royal Highness who visited to present long service awards.

“In the sectors in which we operate, dependability and consistently high standards are key and we must rely on our staff to perform as a team to the best of their ability, each and every day,” said David. “We know we are very fortunate in having such a dedicated, skilled and lovely bunch of people – some of whom we’ve known from the very earliest days of Time 24. Our success is very much their success.”
