We worked together many years ago before he set up the business with John, and I am now looking forward to supporting him in rolling out a comprehensive depot network in the South of the UK. Bristol will be the first step into the Southwest, followed by further strategically located depots to satisfy the growing customer base in the next 18 to 24 months.”
