In January this year we received an order for pipe cleaners from Jacquie Gluyas, an existing customer in New Zealand.  She makes little pipe cleaner sheep!  They have been trading with us for many years & believed their first order was for some time between 1975 & 1980 – up to 40 years ago!  The oldest paperwork record we have in our files was for 1983, but before then, it would have been in (now archived) leather bound folders….shows how times have changed – our first orders were by sea, and we received payment by way of a letter of credit.  Now payment is by credit card and shipping via “YouShop”, a New Zealand Postal service whereby we ship to a UK address & New Zealand Post get them to the customer’s door down under!
