The story behind the eight
We started as a family of 8, us and our 6 children, and built the business upon the philosophy that positive energy makes positive things happen.
The number 8 is associated with the positivity to overcome any challenge and achieve success, victory and prosperity. The infinity symbol is also a figure of 8, symbolising that change is infinite.
From that we had a name - Eight Eights.
