I suppose seeing my 3 boys coming into the business would my favourite thing - they all have a passion for the business and are extremely skilled in their roles.
My second favourite thing would be buying new equipment v8 Scanias, lowloaders and flat trailers to move heavy machinery - I love it!
The best thing I have learned is mechanical knowledge - I’ve always been very mechanically minded but I made a decision 10 years ago to do all my own maintenance in-house.
