During this time he has achieved incredible growth within the company, increasing the business from the original five stores and 43 employees with a £4 million turnover to a company today which is on target to achieve a turnover of £20 million next financial year.

Danny said: “I am honoured and privileged to have been given the opportunity to move to the role of CEO.

“I have enjoyed working and growing the business and I love to see our amazing people grow and move forward within the company.

“It is so rewarding to be a part of a fun, passionate and ambitious business that’s very customer centric, while remaining persistent in everything we set out to achieve.  We have developed a business plan with some exciting growth opportunities for MID Communications over the coming years.

“We want to launch the MID Group soon as we gear up to expand and diversify. I am fortunate to have an energetic and focused workforce who deliver amazing results every day and I am proud of all our team.

“Seven Years ago I created the mission statement ‘build a leading franchise that is people and customer centric’. This is still at the core of our decisions now and will remain as we go forward.

“I love what I do and love the people I do it with.  Work doesn’t feel like work. I want to continue to build this culture as we continue to grow.”
