It seemed like the right thing to do at the time, and it has paid off in some ways. Certainly, we did need to make savings in order to compete with other companies. We were paying out far too much on basic services. It just wasn't allowing for realistic profit margins. Well, the new premises are attractive. The whole place looks much smarter, more in line with the image we're looking to project. And there's no problem, yet, with getting the customers in. It's pretty busy, in fact. The advertising does seem to be helping to keep the products moving. But in terms of staffing, while there's no problem recruiting them round here, it is proving tricky to get their skills up to standard. We're just too busy dealing with the customers to have time to work on that. It's gone fairly well. I mean, it was never going to be straightforward, shifting an operation of this size somewhere completely different. Anyway, it had to be done, because so much of the shopfloor was empty. We just didn't require that sort of area for the equipment. The suppliers seem to have adapted well. Productivity's up, the managers are happy, the facilities aren't perfect, but they'll do. What we didn't do was to properly predict how many new operatives we'd be needing, and that does mean that the ones we have got are having to do far too much overtime to make up the shortfall. Still, I hope the new adverts will attract a new wave of applications.
