Josh says ‘I do’!

Josh says ‘I do’!

Our Sales & Production manager, Josh Boorsma, jetted off to Menorca to tie the knot on May 25th 2019. In true family style he was joined by our MD, Jo Boorsma, and Josh’s father, Mark Boorsma, to celebrate the family wedding of the year! He was also joined by step-sisters Charlotte Fataj and Becky Knight. It was a beautiful day at Bodegas Binifadet Vine Yard where Josh and Rosie said ‘I do’ surrounded by family and friends.

They are now enjoying their honeymoon in Fuerteventura with their son Finn. Staff at Grommets Ltd were not forgotten and were able to celebrate with drinks before Josh left!
