The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing facilities and services, both through its own informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it is achieving on restricted hours in the hands of the current proprietor, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of three full-time and five part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser, and we would unreservedly recommend a viewing.
