“Many of our lads were furloughed and decided to do odd jobs on the side which meant when we needed them back they were busy.”
Ryan himself has had to take on some of the manual labour work at his business despite not doing so for years previously.
Despite all the negatives that came with the lockdown Ryan says there have been some positives.

He said: “We know that a property crash is coming soon, we don’t know how bad it is going to be yet.
“We have so much faith in Doncaster as a town, that's why we invest so heavily here.
