Having only opened two years and nine months ago, Tim and his wife, Rebecca, proudly claim to have reached their goal in half the time they expected. They believe that this has been achieved through hard work and dedication and by never "losing sight of what we wanted to do"  and the the importance of sharing goals with the staff.
