"I think we’ve proved to ourselves that we can do what we wanted to do, and do it well. And we’ve done it over a long period of time but now we want to say we can take it a step further we can still do this and can maintain it but in a different way. You don’t have to own the practice to be able to achieve all the stuff that you want to achieve. You can still achieve them but being part of a bigger organisation, but the right organisation."
