Thanks again Kim Clifford for organising the big bear !

I would like to introduce you to Declan Nestor from Mr Cotton who has come on board to help me run Cafe Chico.
I have run the business for the past 14 years and now is time for me to step back a little so I can spend more family time , especially with my four Grandkids who are in Dublin.
It will also mean we can keep the coffee stall open whenever you take a holiday.
Declan has been in the industry for the past 18 years and is very excited to be involved in this new venture.
