New Website

We are pleased to announce that the new look 125 Group is starting to take shape. As previously posted we have had issues with our provider over the past week however these have been resolved and we are back up and running.

We have taken these issues as an opportunity to update the site. Every aspect of the 125 Group website is being looked at to see how we can improve it to ensure it is informative and can be used as a genuine place for news, updates and reference. We ask for patience as this process will take some time however we have made good progress so far and will endeavour to keep up this momentum.

We hope you enjoy the new site and if you have any feedback or suggestions then please do get in touch. We are also looking for photo contributions for the site so if you would like your HST photos to appear on this page then please get in touch.

Thanks
