“We’re always kept busy and we’re in the process of developing and implementing a new business plan and growth strategy. We’re bringing in some outside help with that side of the business. Paul and I come from more practical backgrounds, so we’re looking to develop the business organisation side, to help us grow the company further.”

Kevin continued: “Attention to detail is always a big thing for us. As directors, we have always adopted a hands-on approach and we still like to do that because our clients want to meet and deal with McCabe and McGinn! As a result, we’ve attracted a lot of repeat business and that has been the bedrock of the company over last couple of years.

“We’re hoping to bring in more and more new clients in the coming years from the leisure and commercial sectors. We pride ourselves on offering a professional service on a personalised level. We are confident we can meet and exceed our clients requirements to a high standard,” he concluded.
