As an industry we’ve experienced the most challenging trading conditions and like many within our industry we have taken stock of the situation and carefully considered our plans for the next few years. We’re now ready to continue with our organic growth plans internally within the Bridle Group of companies, through future acquisition and the expansion of our hugely successful franchise programme. We have some very exciting times ahead and I relish the challenge of leading this great company into the next phase.
