A South Tyneside construction firm has overcome the challenges of Brexit, Covid and the haulage crisis to enjoy its best ever year.
Despite the soaring cost of materials, Tyneside Home Improvements (THI) achieved a record breaking turnover of £7million in 2021. Managing Director Kevin Kerr said: "Omicron, material shortages and high costs are just a few of the massive issues we have faced. Some items rose in price from £6 to £50.
"When the property market took off there was an increase in demand for our services which was fantastic. But it meant sourcing goods was even more difficult. Everyone in our industry was experiencing the same surge and so we were competing against firms who were able to buy in the millions as opposed to our thousands.
