After a long, strange year of lockdowns, furloughs and toilet roll shortages, Varlowe’s new home is now complete and in operation.
The building has been completely remodelled to house our Fabrication workshop and our new CNC department.
The first floor offices are a modern, comfortable workplace which has room to accommodate new staff as we expand.
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s been well worth the wait.
We are really proud of our company and how it has grown over the years. The new building is a reflection of all the hard work that we put into the industry and the services we provide.
Thank you to everyone who has been involved.
