Many thanks so far
To all posters and messengers
I would just like to say many thanks so far for all the constructive, informative and professional comments and messages. It has definitely been an exceedingly worthwhile exercise so please keep them coming.
I'd just quickly like to try and answer a question posed by DNK regarding why we do not use a management company rather than reinventing the wheel.
Well, we have not ruled out any possibility yet either in house or managed, however, the issue of how to ensure the crew is valued and happy doesn't go away Which ever way we do it.
Once again many thanks for your comments they are of great use.
Regards to all
