“He has a huge amount to contribute in order to help grow the business very quickly to an unprecedented level without compromising quality.”

Hughes added: “The team here are, in my opinion, some of the most motivated and competent staff in the industry and we are seeking to achieve great things in this space.

“At a time when we are seeing unprecedented growth, my role will mainly involve reviewing our internal processes and procedures to drive up efficiency.

“With this in mind, we will also be recruiting the very highest standard of staff to complement the strength of the team.”
