says Chief Executive Officer, Mike Schwarz, as he reviews what has been an absorbing and at times challenging, but ultimately successful 2017.
As we slip into deepest winter in the UK, my thoughts turn to chestnuts roasting in an open fire, (that would make a good lyric for a song), festive cheer and more importantly the chance to have a two week break to recharge my batteries. Yes the end of 2017 beckons. So this is an appropriate time to cast an eye back over what has proved to be a hectic and progressive year, but not without its challenges and hiccups too.
