A furniture factory for disabled workers in Aberdeen, which was fighting for survival, has reported record sales for January.
Glencraft, which employs mainly disabled and blind people, saw sales jump 34% on the same period in 2008.
It faced closure last year because of a cut in council funding, but the council agreed to buy it and lease it back.
General manager Anthony Pratt attributed much of the sales success to local support.
