In the notices, owner Lee Kettlewell said:

A massive thank you to the entire Ripon and North Yorkshire community, with huge love and much appreciation to all cleints past and present.

Your loyalty, support and kinsmanship will hold dear to me always, the last 30 years have been an absolute blast!

Referring to his retirement, Mr Kettlewell added:

Retiring is when you stop living at work and start working at living!

I will sincerely miss you all. Best wishes, Lee
