“Prior to working with Ian we really didn’t have any systems in place at all. Thanks to the marketing activity he introduced there has been a massive increase in turnover, to the extent that we are regularly fully booked well in advance. Without the operating systems Ian has also helped us put in place we would simply not have been able to cope with this level of custom”

– Steve Kendell, Owner at Kendells Bistro
