A YORK interior design company is celebrating its 30th birthday - and continued success in a difficult retail climate.

Independent company Plaskitt & Plaskitt, in Micklegate, celebrated its 30th birthday on Wednesday.

Beginning in Walmgate in 1989, the company moved to Monkgate where it was situated for 10 years, before relocating to Micklegate, where it has made its home for the last six years.

Manager Claire Mullen said the company’s success was down to delivering knowledge, experience and design for its clients.

She said: “Most of our clients are repeat customers. Delivering a good service and looking after our customers are the strengths that have made us successful.”

Mrs Mullen added that the future remained bright, with a new website scheduled to go live next month.
