“We had targeted doubling our turnover this year after a number of major wins at the tail end of 2019, but, like many in our sector, we are having to adjust to the challenges presented by COVID-19,” added Nimisha. “Nim’s has its own production line and a strong supply chain and this - combined with effective social distancing and flexible shift patterns - is really helping us adapt so that we continue to meet orders.
