“Think about it seriously. A lot of people say they fancy having a go, but there’s more to it than that. It’s challenging, long shifts, a lot of standing, a lot of patience – and there’s always a safety risk to yourself and your colleagues.”
And we’re only just getting started.
Alongside the upcoming launch of our new Group brand, we have plans to continue expanding the Group in the coming months. With a strong pipeline of organic growth across all divisions and an ambitious buy-and-build strategy underway, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for the Group!
