Wow š®
15 years today I arrived at this place with my family not knowing what on earth I was getting myself into , 22 years I had spent in haulage doing everything I had learned from a boy.
I had a meeting with all the staff at the time and introduced myself as the new landlord and said to them from this moment Iām here to learn and I will follow your lead.
I washed up , collected glasses, stocked up and basically done what I was told for almost 3 months ( I learned every aspect of this business from the bottom up)
And then after watching and learning I called a meeting and said thank you for teaching me but this is what I feel needs to change.
From there we pushed forward, definitely not as quickly as it should have, but little steps.
After several years lockdown come and OMG I thought it was the end, but my staff and I got together because for the first time we had time to breathe and work out what was best for us to do as a company.
For many lockdown was the end but for us it was the turning point, we brainstormed , we planned and when we existed lockdown we thrived.
Every year we push and push to make this place just a little bit better than we was last year.
My thanks goes out to all our customers, but the biggest thank you is too my long time staff and my new ones for number 1 putting up with me in my darkest times and having the same dream as me.
We are one big family and I hope it shows in everything we do.
Much love
Andy
Landlord
