There’s going to be exponential growth across the next decade and new locations are taking off!There’s talk of hotter locations on better rotations…Location is a key factor when it comes to decision-making in this sector. Whether it’s down to tax, accessibility, or weather, it plays a key factor in the choice you make.I speak to experienced candidates daily about where they want their next project to take them and travel is always a strong motivator.
