A sincere thanks to everyone, there is much food for though since my last post. !

Thankyou all very much for your input so far. Many points have been raised that are genuinely worth consideration. I have a plan, some unique ideas and some great support. (I knew my kids would come in handy one day!)

But there’s nothing like hearing other peoples’ perspective. Thanks again.

Yes I have a previous career in engineering, and as a big fan of Robin Mather and Steven Shand, I’d like to go down that route.

My niche would initially have to be quality for a good price.
