With Spotlight, all is revealed!

Dale Stafford carries out the consultation personally because she knows precisely what to look for.

“Dale’s different. She’s been there done it and got the T-shirt - from setting up, to selling on and all the trials and tribulations in between. So she really knows about business. She knows about people and she knows what it takes to achieve success.”
