    I’m glad I found this team and I took a lot from certain management in the way to handle business, treat customers and support staff.
    The good thingsThe people were great, management were supportive - only left due to a lifestyle change.
    The challengesLots of change was happening during my time. Too much too quickly and so, made it hard to manage expectations. I’m sure it’s settled a bit...
