anything is possible. It’s also full of entrepreneurs and owners who took the plunge to set up their businesses and who continue to overcome endless challenges (ash clouds, pandemics, recessions – you name it!).
It never fails to amaze me how innovative our sector is and
how exciting it is to be surrounded by professionals creating such diverse and incredible experiences for their customers. You could never call this sector boring – there’s always someone
