Problem

On the About page, "Our story so far" cuts longer timeline descriptions off mid-word: "Lloyd'", "mor", "…W", "reinsuranc".

Each description is clamped to 5 lines (-webkit-line-clamp: 5 on .bb-story__desc in src/styles/home.css). The body copy is also justified, so the browser stretches the clamped last line to full width and the ellipsis is squeezed or clipped.

Fix

Remove the clamp so every description shows in full. A long entry makes its row taller instead.

The admin's character counter on timeline descriptions stays as a nudge to keep entries short; its tooltip should stop saying the card trims with an ellipsis.

Out of scope

Shortening the founding entry is a content change for the client, made in the admin.
