Our 200+ wholesale customers enjoyed higher security, transparency and reliability as a result. Real-time pricing was given in 6 different currencies across 1,000+ FOB delivery and inspection locations worldwide. We were growing fast on our £1m funding but needed 20x the amount to sustain the growth, so the company was shut down by the board. Show less
