We have recently moved house which luckily has a great garden. The down side is I haven't yet got the garden knowledge to maintain it!
This shrub has been eaten by something? Any ideas on what I need to do to kill them off & restore plant to former glory?

That's most likely Viburnum tinus, and it's got an infestation of Viburnum beetle. Unfortunately, it's a bit late to treat this year, the time to spray is earlier on in spring when the larvae have hatched out, before this type of extensive damage has occurred. More info, including treatment sprays, here
