ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I have been working and living in Oman for the last 20 years, initially going out there on a two year contract I ended up falling in love with the country and its people, resulting in why I stayed for so long.

I have recently relocated back to the UK for family reasons but I am still heavily involved in the business so will be on hand with the new manager to help and advise on a smooth handover and oversee the operations.
