Like every local small business, Safelite had a tough time during the lockdown.
Luckily, it didn't have large overheads or rents to pay and its light boards are made in New Zealand so there were no problems with supplies.
But when level 2 came, Safelite's owners - designer/engineer Murray Butcher and retired university lecturer Alan McGee - said it was great to send out their first order.
They said although sales haven't returned to pre-Covid levels, they decided to tough it out and continue to push the road-safety message aimed at cyclists who carry bikes on the backs of their cars.
"It's been really tough for all small businesses and like many bike shops and suppliers our sales dropped like a stone," says Alan.
