Ardel has early plans to add to its business

Mr Williams (pictured) said the party, which was attended by around 170 clients and business associates, was a good way of informing as many people as possible of the recent changes, which now sees 40% of the business owned by 30 of its managers.

'Bachmann has been around for such a long time so we felt it was important to hold such an event.'
