There were sometimes bumps in the road that set them back, but they pushed on – driven by their great passion for looking after customers and making dreams come true.

Then, from nowhere, came a global pandemic. Travel was shut down and within a few weeks, Bev and Trev were faced with the real possibility of losing the business they loved and their livelihood.

Despite the turmoil, uncertainty and stress, Bev and Trev rolled up their sleeves and worked all hours to look after their customers and found a way through the next couple of years.
