but to confirm that.........pull out one of the leaves........and see if a white liquid bleeds from the stem...........

if it is......then its a ficus........rubber tree...

Wow thank you all so much for your helpful and kind words of advice.

The leaves did not produce a white liquid so I'm pretty sure it is a Serissa Foetida, thanks Heckter (Repotter) for spotting that, i've had a look at some other Serissa trees and I'm really excited about it flowering!!!

From the image can anyone see if i need to prune it in any way?

Should i aim for symmetry? or let it go where it wants to?

I'm with you on Serrissa but not completely sold, I have several but something looks different in the pic's.

Anyway they take quite well to the clip and grow method, they don't wire well.

Maybe a species in the ligustrum genus?
