Adande is proven to save operators £££s and this saving has never been so important for our industry. We have a dynamic UK sales team now reporting into newly appointed UK Sales Manager, Jackie Venn and a strong and committed dealer network in the UK. Over 40% of sales in 2022 were in overseas market and these sales continue to grow. I am very much looking forward to this next chapter.
