In what has sometimes seemed to have been an endless past 12 months we are finally reaching the end of the financial year, and we are hopeful that we are reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. We are fully aware that this time of year also means that there are annual budgets that need to be spent before the beginning of April, and the team have put their heads together and highlighted some of those products that you can never have too much of, and you can guarantee will get used up during the next year.
