The company also supplied numerous kiosks and pop-up shops for use during the Paris Olympics and provided merchandising units for Taylor Swift’s Eras tour dates in Paris and Lyon.

"We may be a small team but we have a big reach and we have just recorded the most successful half yearly results in our almost 20-year history."

The company turned over £2.5 million last financial year and is on track to hit £4 million in its current year, with a target of reaching £6 million by 2026.

Mr Daffern added: "Covid was a very challenging time for the business, with our main markets, such as sports and live entertainment, put on hold.

"Things were touch and go for a while, but due to our fantastic clients and team we managed to weather the storm and have bounced back even stronger.

"With the backing of some fantastic new investors, we’re now able to accelerate our growth plans, expanding into new premises and taking on new people.

"Moving forwards, we have a strong pipeline and plans to expand rapidly through Europe."
