“Our history in Aberdeen dates back to 1873 and we’re very proud of the extensive and innovative products that we have developed over this period. We now supply equipment to 24 of the world’s 28 bank note manufacturers – an achievement we owe to the commitment and skill of our valued team.
“The support and funding from Royal Bank of Scotland has been invaluable as we press ahead with an exciting new chapter at Woollard & Henry, with a fruitful new business pipeline set to drive more activity for the firm.”
Last year, Woollard & Henry was awarded The Queen’s Award for International Trade 2020.
