Perhaps Jon can finance a decent pair of shoes now.... What are you thinking about Mr T?
Just goes to show that Yorkshire men are not all mean!!!
Congratulations and well done Jonathan.
Absolutely critical to get good financial support, even if they are keen to hand out the umbrellas when the suns out! We have had great support and advice from Clydesdale, after some very different experiences at the hands of some of the so called Major banks. John and the team are going from strength to strength!! Great to see the independent guys doing so well!!
