Great to see the business expanding, as you say there are a number of factors that make this decision work, I’m sure we will see a tractor unit added to the fleet soon as well (we know you regretted selling the 2 you had prior, but at the time you did what you thought was right for the business. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and had you known the opportunities that you could have exploited you would have kept them) However you may not have been in a position to get these 5 units had you still had the 2 tractor & trailer units so it’s swings and roundabouts. Congrats Daniel, I’m looking forward to seeing where this takes the business and what further opportunities this gives you👍🇬🇧
