Sometimes - most times actually - instead of having you read an article on how good our products are, we like to get out the office to show you. It’s a wonderful way to create awareness with new customers, catch up with our faithfulls and interact with staff, stores and the market. It’s an excellent learning platform for Sika, and its great fun too.

Bobbi Bear Donation

“How much more can we take…? Fighting to survive, then this…our electric fence damaged. What more do they want from us, it just does not end?
