Richard Close has a busy self catering holiday enterprise that keeps him occupied. Think he is happier working for himself. There was a chance a few years ago that he was going to Lanark before Archie Hamilton came available.
He’s also been in most store sales buying for people who he obviously dealt with when in the box.
