Some personal news
The war in Ukraine has touched the lives of many, as well as dominated political discourse across the globe. We are just a sign company, se we'll refrain from opining on moral / political issues - we hold no unique views worth reading and can add nothing of note. But for those interested, our retired M.D., Nick, has spent the last 3 years participating in humanitarian relief efforts and refugee evacuations, initially at the border with Poland, but increasingly within Ukraine itself. He's been over already this year and will be heading back today. We will not be providing an itinerary of his efforts, nor blogging about his experiences etc, we just want to wish him well and express how proud we are.
