Winning Business Quest has been a fantastic experience for us, and the help and advice from Peter Gadsby and his team has been invaluable. Having a mentor of his calibre has certainly enabled us to grow much faster than anticipated."
“The company’s progress illustrates that, even in a tough economic climate, young businesses can grow provided they have the right support and advice”
Peter Gadsby, Chairman of Ark Capital, commented:
“Chris was a worthy winner of the award and has shown himself to be up for the challenge of creating a growing business. He knows only too well that, in the current climate, no-one can afford to be complacent and is continuing to work exceptionally hard at building a solid foundation for the future.”
