Earle, who has run the business since 1993, told TTG how he and his team raced to turn the crisis into an opportunity after parts of East Yorkshire and Humberside were hit by several days of heavy rain in late-September.
"We had damage to the basement storage area and were reduced from six working desks to two,” he recalled. “We faced being closed for six weeks for the repairs.”
However, just two months later, the business has successfully relocated to a larger shop “literally 40 yards” from the agency’s previous home – one Earle believes will allow the business to more than double its sales over the coming years.
