Cheerleader from the Helm
Michael Turner, chairman and one of the founding family’s members, chimed in: “We’ve smashed the numbers big time, want to shout a high five to my team.
“We did all this while the economy’s been on a wild roller‑coaster – fees jiggling, tariffs turning the market into a soap opera, and the Chancellor’s October budget sending shivers down the hospitality aisle.
“Nationals insurance changes came as a shocker, and I’m worried some of the little prides in our sector might end up in the docks forever.”
What’s Brewing Ahead
Fuller’s remains optimistic about leading the pack but acknowledges the rain clouds of political and economic turbulence are still lurking.
