Reminiscing and the future
Well we’ve come down the valley a little bit and the photo you see now is actually Easby abbey.
This is actually where Anna and I were married many years ago. The church to the left, not the ruins I hasten to add.
I quite often like to have a walk down here and it’s quite interesting because you sort of think back to everything that’s happened since then and also thinking about the future. Plus the sale of BirdsEye which was announced at the weekend and I made some comment on yesterday.
I’ve had a lot of people ringing me up, you know suppliers and growers, wanting to understand what it means for the business.
Clearly I’m entirely optimistic about that. And I think in terms of the strategy it’s about growing the business both top and bottom line. It’ll be a little while before we actually get into the detail of the how we achieve that strategy and what the tactics will be.
And everybody that I’ve spoken to from the farming community they’ve been entirely supportive and they’ll continue to do their very best to enable us to have a very successful business. So I’m looking forward to getting stuck into that.
Anway, I’m going a little bit further.
