A little victory for a small business left devastated by the floods that submerged parts of Leeds at Christmas.

Leeds joiner’s Chippendale Projects is getting back on its feet after receiving a grant from the Leeds City Region Business Recovery Fund, a fund set up to help small businesses left in dire straits by the overflowing waters of the River Aire.
