LEIGH businessman Stuart Hide has definitely made his mark with the Inland Revenue.

And Stuart has no fear of the tax department knowing what he earns, for they are paying him!

Stuart, who runs The Stuart Hide Rubber Stamp Company in Turnpike House, has just completed a massive order supplying the Bradford tax office with 1,000 rubber stamps - an order worth more than £4,000.

And he is hopeful of even larger jobs in the future after completing the work in just two weeks.

Stuart said: "We completed the order in only a fortnight and now have our name on the Inland Revenue central purchasing records so I am hoping to receive more orders in the future. In fact I hope we can receive even larger orders.

"We had to do the stamps in different colours for different departments, and it is certainly the biggest single I have received order in the 12 years I have been in business."
