Swim in a Tin described Squab as a true business partner, with the team sharing their entrepreneurial experience and helping the business to grow.

Nick Timms, of Swim in a Tin, said: “Starting a new business is always a challenge and doing something that has not been done before requires more than just a landlord. Squab is a true partner to our business – they are accessible, supportive and dependable with a ‘can do’ attitude.

Emlyn Evans, of Squab, said: “It is fantastic to be named Family Business of the Year 2023 at the Midlands Service Excellence Awards, and even more special after being nominated by one of our tenants."
