When I started I could make no money. For years I was convinced treats like holidays would never happen. So I decided I'd do my daily job, my business, in as enjoyable a way as possible. Then I wouldn't need holidays. I am still enjoying it. The fun keeps us going. And it rubs off on customers too. They like talking to happy people. I hope that whenever anyone at Laithwaites has the choice ‘shall I do this the boring way, or the enjoyable way?’ they know which way to go.” Tony Laithwaite, founderTo join our successful and dedicated team please see our vacancies page for current opportunities: https://bit.ly/3sZQFtJ
