It's all About Partnership

Husband and wife team Jinesh and Reena Patel were able to enjoy their first holiday in three years thanks to the healthy work life balance they have achieved since launching Revive! Gloucester twelve months ago. Whilst Jinesh was keen to follow his heart and set up their own business, Reena took a bit more persuading.  Twelve months on, it is Reena who is the most enthusiastic, admitting: “I have absolutely no regrets – in fact, with hindsight we should have started up with three vans, rather than two! At the beginning I did have doubts, so it was really good to get through the first year and with a profit too.”
