Plum’s managing director Karen Morledge said: “I’m still amazed that I founded Plum from home in 2010 and it’s grown from a standing-start to the point where I’m opening a new office.

“I remember starting with just a laptop, mobile phone and contacts book in my spare-bedroom-come-office and, with a little luck and a lot of hard work, it wasn’t long before companies were approaching me to ask for help.

“It soon became clear that Plum was going to grow much quicker than the lovely looking graph in my weighty business plan had predicted.”
