Furthermore, the company has created 20 robust policies covering Health & Safety, GDPR, Terms & Conditions, Risk Assessments, and Equal Opportunities.

Client retention is supported by a well-maintained CRM system featuring existing and former clients. Additionally, the business holds a database of over 2,000 untapped potential contacts, providing exceptional growth potential.
