Testimonial

Nationwide once again found me a shop with short hours and very little competition. Since taking over, I’ve added an Off Licence, PayZone and applied for the National Lottery. I now trade seven days a week and my Convenience Store takings have increased significantly. I’ll be trusting Mr Leonard to handle the lease for me when the time comes. Thank you
