    "What a credit your engineers are to your company, whether fire extinguishers, light or alarms. I never have any issues with invoices, booking in visits, early or late, your engineers do not spend all their time with us on their phones, they usually don’t even have a coffee - although we do ask.

    "I feel compelled to write this email to you because I have found your guys Tom and Jeff to be polite, focused, and very helpful during the first phase of installation. It has been a pleasure to have them here. I was even happy to leave them on their own in school whilst I had my breaks. It is usual for people to email the boss when things go wrong and I understand that and so will you, but i also think when things go right the company should be contacted also, so that they may praise their staff with a job well done."
