I was delighted to read in the media today that James and Martin have achieved the remarkable milestone of a £1 billion valuation following the introduction of investment from TSG Consumer Partners.  I had the privilege of undertaking a strategy workshop with them both, almost nine years ago to the day, during which we explored the options and implications for the growth of their venture, and identified the development priorities relevant to that stage in their journey.  I was struck at the time by their conviction and marketing "bravery".  It is truly inspirational that they have gone on to become one of Scotland's great success stories.
