Perhaps our most prestigious yet was providing facili- ties for a really big wedding at Castle Howard where Rod Stewart (not a tribute act) per- formed for the evening’s entertainment.’ ‘We have units specifically for the high end such as weddings and classy events and units designed for use at high volume days and weekends. We’ve since added other facilities for hire including generators and refrigerated trailers. Over any given weekend at the height of summer we may be supplying over 20 events and functions in one weekend and then everything comes back to Cot Nab by Monday to be com- pletely cleaned and freshened up ready for deliveries to begin again the next day.’ Mark and Lisa met for the first time in 2001 and were married in 2008. They had both studied at Bishop Burton College but their paths didn’t cross until some years later. Lisa had a successful career in the medical research industry in both sales and man- agement. She has had a passion for horses all her life and having studied equine at Brackenhurst she spent a year as a groom in Scotland. She has been involved in one-day eventing and is currently a keen and successful dressage competitor with her horse Breit Crusader purchased from Germany. Lisa handles all of the secretari- al and logistics work for The Convenience Company. Mark’s grandmother Irene wrote books about the family’s time at Cot Nab during the 50s, 60s and 70s.
