to the management and directors pushed the whole team forward. We go into 2018/19 with an even greater appetite for growth, continuing to build a solid team around the business.” Centre Manager of the Year – Garry Samroo of Pirtek Park Royal: Garry said, “I was surprised and humbled to win this award.
