Procure Direct director Spencer Coffin said: “The last few months have been incredible for us.
“We’ve seen our work with schools increase dramatically as they took advantage of lockdown to bring forward replacement lighting projects. We moved into our new offices and warehouse in Lincoln’s Allenby Industrial Estate and celebrated 15 years in business.
“We’ve now been awarded our largest ever contract, which is amazing.
