Regional Manager's Thoughts This business has been traded in the same hands for the past 10 years. It's a beautiful old property and trades in a lovely part of the countryside. This is a sought-after property that will be attractive in the marketplace, and I am looking forward to interviewing some existing entrepreneurs.
