- By MAIL REPORTER

THE founder of an East Staffordshire firm has spoken of his company’s pride after it was hailed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves as a shining example of the country’s medium-sized enterprises.

Peter Ellse, CEO of Cosy Direct, made the comments following a visit by the Chancellor to his Tutbury-based company - which supplies sustainable, open-ended educational resources for schools and nurseries - to officially launch the Government's trade strategy.

During her morning-long visit, Ms Reeves was given a tour of Cosy’s premises, and a meet-and-greet with staff.

This included the firm's managing director David Hook and co-founder Amanda Ellse, as well as a tour of the warehouse, an introduction to Cosy’s product design capabilities, and demonstrations of its use of technology and AI.
