Testimonial
Since buying a newsagent last year, I’ve never been happier. The early mornings can be tough, especially in winter, but by 9am I’ve already secured around 75% of my daily turnover. I have part‑time staff who run the shop during the day, which means I get my afternoons free to enjoy my passion - golf.
