“Before we opened we needed help in putting together a feasible and realistic business plan in order to negotiate the lease terms with the landlord. Donal was a great help in this and we started the business on a healthy footing. Since then Donals help has been invaluable as we went from strength to strength and now not alone do I see Donal and Ballance Hospitality as my business adviser I also see him very much as a friend of Susan and mine. He is always available to us when we have any questions and without him we would not be on the solid path with our pub that we now find ourselves.”
