A BUSINESS in Lympsham went head to head with Europe’s best in a trade competition.

Staff Guardian makes GPS safety devices for lone workers and was one of twelve start-up businesses from across the continent that were short-listed to pitch their product to a panel of six European judges in the ‘Converge Challenge’.

The firm narrowly missed out on winning but spokesman Mike Turner said: “Feedback will help me grow Staff Guardian to even greater success.”
