Ms Sharp commented: “Susan and I are privileged to be able to take the business forward to the next stage. We take pride in offering a quality and reliable service to all of our customers and are completely committed to keeping our customers and staff at the heart of all that we do.
“We had great support from our team of advisers through-out the MBO process, meaning we could remain focused on running the business on a day-to-day basis.”
