Just ask Kirsty Powell from Chef's Choice Ltd, who praised our team's patience in explaining fire regulations and providing thorough training.

"I would just like to thank you and all the team that have been here with me this week, for an absolutely fantastic service and a great job well done. Your colleagues have been helpful, informative and very patient with me as a business owner with little or no understanding of fire regulations and our responsibilities as a business owner. Things have been explained well and the training I have received has been excellent. Further to this I would add that the Fire Risk Assessor who has been on site this morning spoke very highly of your company was assured that we were in good hands!"

Or speak with Chris Caton from Collingwood Primary School, who commended our engineers' high standards and detailed communication.

"It is often the case that we are very quick to criticise work that is undertaken or services made but I kind of like to turn that on its head. Tom was working here at Easter and this summer holiday to complete works to the new fire system...

I would like to express my appreciation for his high standards and work ethic. He has explained things in detail when I have queried something or expressed an interest in the work he was carrying out. He has been amazingly polite and courteous to all staff that been on site and that has been appreciated.

Rory also has been very helpful and he too deserves praise.
I would not hesitate to recommend your company to other schools or companies should the subject arise."
