“The award was thoroughly deserved & it was my good fortune to have been in a position to nominate him. East Londoners always have to be so much better than others to get recognition. Also he could not have achieved the success he has without the back up of competent staff so you & all who work for Johnny & his group should also take some of the accolades.”
Myron RobinsonFantastic Accolade and well deserved. Congratulations Buddy. Cheers on You and your Team.
