James Dalglish, GO Rentals Managing Director.

The Central App
"Based on evidence from last year, the E.T.C competition is very popular, and we have every reason to believe this popularity will continue to grow. All participating outlets work extremely hard to provide their top dishes using Central's superb local ingredients, matched with local wines and beers. Our taste buds are again in for a treat. We can't wait,"
