The stability and value of services offered by Composite Profiles has ensured customer loyalty during the uncertainty caused by Brexit and Covid-19. However, this resilient company is pulling through, even having launched a new safety product, wHOLE.Protect TM , in the depths of the nationwide lockdown. It was by refusing to enter panic mode when lockdown was announced that Composite Profiles was able to turn the situation on its head to continue operating effectively. Managing Director Mark Norton considered, “There is a lot we can’t do currently. Tell me what we can do.” Procedures were rewritten to ensure the business was able to continue safely and effectively. The team continue to provide excellent services to their clients even in such challenging times. The lockdown also showed the team where the business needed strengthening or adapting, and have therefore used the time productively to ensure that Composite Profiles will come out of the uncertainties of Brexit and Covid-19 better than ever.
