A marginal rise in turnover and profits might not sound much to shout about, but the figures are a win for major IT recycling firm Procurri Europe, which overcame significant challenges.

The Cotswold company managed to keep its turnover steady, even nudging it up slightly from £554,000 to £50.6 million despite suffering a cyber attack and significant Brexit-related challenges.

It lost millions in overseas trade, but managed to grow its business within the UK to compensate and steady the ship.
