On September 3rd we celebrated out 25th Anniversary in style with a party for over 90 customers, suppliers, contacts, friends and employees from the last 25 years.

The evening was a great success bringing together stories and memories from the past as well as hopes and thoughts for the future. The feature of the evening was an on-stage interview with PMI’s Jane Seddon and Jan Gillett in which they discussed their highlights from the past 25 years.
