Director Rob Comiskey said the purchase couldn’t have come at a better time:
“Today is my birthday, and it’s off to a great start,” Mr Comiskey said.
“We have been eyeing out the site behind Eatons Hill Hotel for years, strategically we

“We never would have thought it would be so successful, let alone that we’d end
up being able to buy the property next door.
“It’s times like these that I pinch myself and am so proud of all the hard work my family have done, the epic team we have and just so grateful for the support of our communities. It’s not without them that any of this would be possible.
“We look forward to using this land to enhance and expand on our current offering, with the community in mind every step of the way”
