BNI Nottingham Testimonials

I wish to thank you for the excellent workmanship you have put into my bathroom.

The wall tiling and floor tiling, trimming and re-fitting of the bathroom door and many other intricate jobs you carried out in a super way.

I feel that I can highly recommend you for your good quality work.

For MG Tiling, from Mrs Beryl Butler

During one of my visits as a guest to the BNI in May 2011, Paul Goodman made the group aware of potential European funding through Business Link.

At that time, I was in the process of starting up two small businesses, and Paul supplied me with contact details at Business Link.

I made enquiries during the course of that week, and was provided with an advisor to guide me through the process.

As a direct result of Paul’s input, I was successful in securing funding for equipment for both businesses; the fund providing 60% of the total, with my share being the remaining 40%. I have now received confirmation of my applications for both businesses, and will be receiving a total of £5 700.

Without Paul’s input, I would have found it necessary to raise the additional funds required personally. This has eased my entry into the private sector and I am most grateful for Paul’s contribution.

For Goodman Corporate Consultancy Ltd, from Greg Drozdowski, Gardenupkeep

I would like to formally thank you for all your hard work. I now understand why you are receiving so many rave reviews!

As I hear so frequently, my oven looks like new again. My barbeque received the same attention, and looks equally sparkly clean.

Your integrity, hard work and attitude are outstanding. You deserve to do extremely well in your new profession.

For Spring Fresh, from Philippa Clarke, Red Carpet Cleaning Services Ltd

Thank you for the electrical installation work recently carried out at my premises. I was very happy with the work done.

The work was carried out within the time frame you gave me, you made sure the area was left clean and tidy, and the team was very professional and respectful.

I also found it refreshing that you explained what was happening each step of the way, which meant i knew and understood exactly what was happening throughout. I also found that your prices were competitive

Thank you again. I would gladly recommend your services to my contacts.

For CMS Electrical, from Matthew Williams, Affinity Care Solutions

Thank you very much for all your help with a client of mine Cema Vending who was in need of some support and guidance with all their fire regulations and procedures.

All the advice and documentation you provided to my client helped him gain his fire certificate you knowledge and professionalism that you shown was of the highest standard.

I would have no hesitation in using your services again in the future or recommending you to others.

For Affinity Care Solutions, from James Stewart, Stewart and Baker

Firstly, can I say a big thank you for your professionalism and efficiency, you exceeded our expectations and delivered very high quality work.

We would definitely recommend you to other people and would have every confidence that you would deliver consistently every time.

Good luck with your business and we hope to work with you again in the near future.

For Affinity Care Solutions, from Craig Barker, Baseline Creative

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the excellent work your company carried out on my home.

I was very happy with the quality of the alarm system you installed for us, its subtly fitted inside and yet the box is clearly visible outside so as to provide a deterrent to intruders.

The quote we received was very competitive, and i was very pleased by the quality of your workmanship and friendly demeanour.

It was also refreshing to see the effort you went to to clean up the work area at the end of the day, saving myself another job.

I would certainly recommend your services to any of my contacts seeking an alarm installation or service, as well as use your services again myself.

For 360 Audio Vision, from Matthew Williams, Affinity Care Solutions

Pete has recently mended a toilet for me, fitted a new kitchen tap, replaced an old outside tap and quoted for a new bath.

From the very moment I passed my first referral I have received excellent service. Roz rang me that afternoon to arrange a date for Pete to visit to assess the work. She was honest about time scales and has a lovely, efficient manner on the phone.

Pete mended the toilet on his first visit and spent time ensuring he understood my other problems, giving professional advice about possible solutions. He clearly spoke from experience and was keen to find the best outcome possible.

On 8th May Pete came straight to my house after BNI accompanied by his new apprentice Andrew. They soon identified that replacing the kitchen tap was not straightforward but Pete remained calm and supervised Andrew whilst he squeezed into the tight space under the sink to apply a box spanner to the problem. Meanwhile Pete fitted the new outside tap.

I was very impressed by the way Pete mentored Andrew explaining each process in detail as new pipes were soldered and installed. Andrew is a hard working young man who has an excellent work ethic.

I have a fab new mixer tap now and no longer get a shower each time I turn it on!

I must also mention that we did discuss the possibility of “powerflushing” my central heating system but we agreed that as it is quite old it is best left alone.

I love the company branding a lot of thought has gone into the wording on the quotations and other correspondence.

To finish I can confirm that they did “exceed my expectations” and I am happy to recommend them to you all. To coin a phrase with Verisafe you definitely are in very safe hands. I wish them every success with future business.

For Verisafe, from Lesley Brown, Rainbow Training

In my capacity as Director of the charity, SHE I asked Tristan to advise me on the most appropriate options for our telephony and broadband needs in our new premises in Newark.

Tristan was immediately “on the case” responding sensitively and professionally to our needs. After liaising with our administrator and treasurer; he drew up several alternatives for us to consider and gave his honest opinion on what he considered to be the best option.

As our new premises are owned by the Newark Advertiser Tristan also spoke to their representative, on our behalf, to identify potential problems. When I suggested that a visit to the office may be worthwhile, Tristan immediately agreed and gave up half a day to travel there with me.

His guidance has been invaluable and the flexibility that his company offers has really suited our needs. Tristan’s access to specialist knowledge has enabled us to acquire a system which will meet our current needs but also allows for expansion as the charity grows.

Finally, Tristan has taken responsibility for the interface with BT which has saved us a lot of heartache.

I am delighted with the service he has offered and have no hesitation in recommending him to others. He is also looking into our utility provision to ensure we get the best deal possible.

For Tristan Day, from Lesley Brown, Rainbow Training

A few weeks ago Chris happened to mention in his 60 seconds that he was looking for people with faulty electrical appliances, specifically mentioning washing machines. I immediately filled out a referral form as the previous day my washer had decided to stop rinsing and spinning and had locked the door with my washing inside it.

Chris came to my house that day and quickly identified the problem and repaired it. I was delighted as I had thought I may have to go out and buy a new machine.

I was impressed at the priority Chris gave to my washer, particularly as he was about to go away on holiday. However, he made sure the repair was done before he went.

On the 10th May, Chris returned to my house with his son to sort out another problem which we had identified. Not only did he fix that satisfactorily but his son sawed a large branch of one off my trees and helped me fill a skip with garden refuse. Above and beyond the initial agreement.

Chris is a conscientious, reliable, skilled electrician and DIY man and I already have some other business lined up for him as I was so pleased with his efficiency and professionalism.

For CMS Electrical, from Lesley Brown, Rainbow Training

I recently asked you to conduct conveyancing work for my clients in relation to purchasing a new property and after a recent meeting the feedback from them has been fantastic with regards to the service you have provided to them.

You have also recently completed work for another of my clients where the property sale was not so straight forward, and the situation was quite sensitive to say the least. I had pleasure in receiving a phone call from my client informing me that she had completed the purchase of the property and thanking me for introducing you to her.

No doubt your assistance with advising my clients through the stressful process of purchasing and selling their properties, has bought added value to my client proposition and again I would like to express my thanks and gratitude, for your efforts.

For Sheltons Solicitors, from Paul Jones, Integral Financial Planning

Thank you for your help with the Energy performance assessment of my premises. Your service was excellent from contacting you to the visit on the day and the assessment was easy to follow.

I have no hesitation in recommending you and your company.

For CC Ltd, from Chris Spencer, CMS Electrical

Thank you for your advice regarding my accounts and businesses.

Your advice has helped me to move my company forward and go in the direction that I wanted it to.

Without your sound advice I would still be controlled by my businesses and not controlling my business.

I look forward to working with you on my business long term. I have no hesitation in recommending you and your company.

For Higson & Co, from Chris Spencer, CMS Electrical

Thank you for helping me and my with my Life insurances.

There is a lot of comparison sites and wrong information out there and because you are independent you were able to show me and explain all the different options that would suit me and my wife and our lifestyles and budgets.

We were able to agree to a policy that suited our needs you personal service was excellent from first contact and I have no hesitation in recommending you and your company.

For Integral Financial Planning, from Chris Spencer, CMS Electrical

I would thoroughly recommend the services of Chris Spencer at CMS.

I asked Chris to fit a set of new electric sockets in our office, and I was very impressed by the whole service. The price was good, the quality of work was perfect and everything went smoothly from start to finish. He advised us on every part of the work and also helped with giving us an idea of how much some future work might cost, to help us budget for it.

Many thanks.

For CMS Electrical , from Mark Leary, Creative Director, Blu:72

I would thoroughly recommend the services of Pete Verity at Verisafe.

Pete recently serviced our boiler and fireplace. He arrived on time, took care to leave no mess and did a fantastic at a great price. He even did a free check on our gas oven. Overall the service was perfect and we will definitely use him again!

For Verisafe Plumbing, from Mark Leary, Creative Director, Blu:72

I would thoroughly recommend the services of David Bytham at Spring Fresh.

David recently came to clean our oven that hadn’t been cleaned for quite a while, he used all eco friendly products and worked really hard to get a near showroom shine. He really did get to “the parts that were hard to reach and made it look a complete peach!”

For Spring Fresh, from Mark Leary, Creative Director, Blu:72

When I moved into my house last April I discovered that the previous owners had left the beautiful Rangemaster cooker covered in grease and grime from roast dinners etc. For the first few months I was eating convenience food whilst I sorted the house out, so I didn’t use the oven.

Each time I opened the oven doors I shut them again knowing that my previous experience of domestic oven cleaning products indicated that I was not going to be able to restore the cooker to its’ former glory.

Then............ one Tuesday morning a man called David Bytham came as a substitute to our BNI Chapter advertising his Spring Fresh oven cleaning service........... he was my new hero. Within the week David had visited and worked his magic on my cooker. It sparkled and shone like brand new. Clearly, the commercial products he used made such a difference.

I was absolutely delighted, I could now start cooking again.

I gave a verbal testimonial for David a couple of weeks ago but promised to put this in writing for him to show potential customers and for the Chapter website.

David is reliable, trustworthy, efficient and dedicated. I would highly recommend him and shall certainly use him again when the time is right.

For Spring Fresh, from Lesley Brown, Rainbow Training

For JPT Solutions, from James Stewart, Stewart and Baker

After a week of no heat or hot water with so called experts from manufacters/ and home SOS coming up with various reasons why my heating and hot water did not work I managed to contact Pete and his wife.

He arrived the following day sorted out my heating system and hot water with a power flush.

He was efficient,polite, smarter than your average plumber, careful with carpets ,explained the problems and best of all got my heating working.

I would certainly recommend Verisafe to anyone wanting to improve the efficiency of their heating system.

Thank you

Bryan Gray

For Verisafe Plumbing, from Bryan Gray

I am writing to express my delight with the quality of the LED down-lighters I recently purchased from your company. The old spot lights I’ve replaced had a power rating of 50W which I have now managed to reduce to 2W with the new LED lights. That is 4% of the original power consumption which will certainly help bring down my annual electricity bill!

My past experience with energy efficient lighting has not been good. I have in the past found them to be dim with the quality of light being poor. That is certainly not the case with these new LED lights! The quality and brightness of the light is fantastic and ideal for the kitchen where they are used. Taking into consideration the energy savings and the significantly longer life span of the new lights, the investment in these LED lights is more than worthwhile.

It is good to know that I will now not have to continue changing down-lighters every other month! I’ve now been using the LED lights for a few months and they’re still going strong and have been absolutely trouble free. The trouble I previously had with the power supply to the lights over-heating causing the lights to intermittently turn on and off has also been solved with the new lights as they do not get hot like the old ones did.

Thank you for your help in identifying and supplying suitable replacement LED lighting.

For CMS Lites, from Oliver Wastell, Access Intelligent Services

After 6 months of looking around & talking to various accountancy companies we were lucky enough to be introduced to Simon & Gill of Higson & Co.

With their no nonsense, straight talking approach we have found them a perfect fit for our business, we know exactly were we stand in the current climate & are always forewarned of any changes that may affect us.

We have been with Higsons for 6 months now, we have no intention of changing accountants & would not hesitate to recommend them.

For Higson and Co, from Roz Verity, Verisafe Plumbing

We recently had the need to have some urgent printing completed and delivered to our premises within a very short time period.

We had never used Milward Printing before but I was given Malcom's number, he listened to my dilemma and assured me that they would be able to fulfil my requirements, that same day Vicki contacted and advised me of their very reasonable prices and delivery date.

As a fellow business owner, I know how important it is to provide outstanding customer service as do Malcom and Vicki, we would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again.

For Milward Printing, from Roz Verity, Verisafe Plumbing

A full recommendation and thank you to Verisafe and Pete Verity, A top service.

I have tasked myself in the past with a few compression joints, some successful, others not!, but when it came to soldered joints I thought it was time to call in the professionals and Verisafe are exactly that.

From the initial visit to view the job in hand, to fitting the job into a busy schedule, Verisafe were courteous and keen to do the work.

Pete even gave me a few much appreciated tips on finishing.

Then it came to the crunch.... The bill !!....I was very pleasantly surprised. Efficient friendly service and a fair price, what more can you ask.

We are thinking of having a radiator fitted in our conservatory later this year and we will definitely be using Verisafe again, highly recommended.

For Verisafe, from Phil Best, Fusion Signs

Having just moved in to a new house which needed some urgent gas fire disconnection and new gas pipe works to be carried out it was extremely helpful to be able to be put in touch with a reliable tradesman such as Pete.

He came out at short notice on both occasions and did not charge any emergency or short notice additional charges (when in fairness he probably could have done), he carried out the work in a thoroughly professional and polite manner and at a very fair price. I would, and actually already have, recommend him to all friends and family.

I have recently recommended Pete to my parents for help in sorting their boiler and gas fire servicing and potentially they need a new boiler fitting so hopefully there will be some good work for him to carry out.

I am continuing to use Pete for gas and heating work myself and thanks again for introducing me.

Kind regards

Mick

For Verisafe, from Mick Suggett

I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation of the work and advice you have recently provided to one of my clients. As you know I help business clients with financial advice and your services seem to be an extension of my client proposition.

During the recent meeting we had with my client it was obvious that the employee situation he had was causing him a lot of stress. However, the advice and ideas you provided were excellent and the fact that you offered to support him with the disciplinary procedures removed a lot of weight off his shoulders. The client was so pleased that he called me the same evening to thanks me for introducing you to him, and this has undoubtedly raised my credibility even further.

I’m pleased to see that they have accepted your ongoing HR support service and I’m sure you will be able to provide further ongoing support to them by removing the stress that being an employer can cause, when dealing with HR matters.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to other business and look forward to working with you in the future and supporting more of my business clients.

Thanks again,

Paul Jones

For Stewart and Baker, from Paul Jones, Integral Financial Planning

Thank you so much for your recent help with resolving the boiler problem at our property on Melrose Street. I appreciate that the autumn is a busy time of year for your business and that the only service you could offer, to deal with the matter immediately, was an emergency call out. However, what was impressive was how you took the time to call the tenant and diagnose the problem over the phone, in this case managing to avoid us an unnecessary call out charge.

Many other gas engineers wouldn’t have hesitated to have conducted the emergency callout and levied the corresponding fee in its entirety. Your honesty and integrity is an example to be followed by all in your profession.

I have no hesitation in recommending you or your services to anyone looking for a great gas engineer.

Yours Sincerely,

Oliver Wastell

For Verisafe, from Oliver Wastell, Access Intelligent Services

I wanted to express my gratitude to you for your expedient supply of business cards for my new business (http://www.businessmusketeers.com). Whilst I finalise my branding I wanted some temporary business cards to give out in the interim. You were able to provide these within 48 hours at an excellent price, good quality and brilliant service.

I will have no hesitation in recommending you and Milward Printing to those who would ask.

Thanks again.

For Milward Printing, from Tristan Day, Business Musketeers

I am writing to say how impressed my tenant and I were with the service you provided when Verisafe Plumbing and Heating were recently called out following a suspected carbon monoxide leak. Why do these things always happen on bank holiday weekends?

Firstly, I was impressed that I was able to contact someone at your company despite it being a bank holiday and that you were able to have an engineer at the property to investigate and rectify the matter within an hour.

Secondly, my tenant commented on how polite and professional your engineer was and how quickly the problem was identified and the matter rectified.

It was a pleasant surprise that not only did your company provide a prompt and professional service, but your bill came in at well below what was expected.

I would not hesitate to recommend Verisafe Plumbing and Heating to others and will happily use your services again.

For Verisafe, from Oliver Wastell, RPB Properties

I would thoroughly recommend the services of Craig Barker at Baseline.

Our businesses do overlap in terms of our skill sets and what we both offer, but this works to our benefit as during busy periods either one of us can sub-contract for the other. That being case Craig helped me out recently with some web page designs.

We we’re commissioned by WE7.com to design 21 Homepage Takeovers for their website, so they could sell advertising to companies such as LG, Guinness, Adidas, Honda and McDonalds. This was a lot of work, with a very tight deadline, so I called Craig to see if he could help us out by doing 6 of the designs. He was happy to oblige and kindly designed the ads for Weetabix, Go Compare, Special K, Paramount Pictures, National Express and Warner Music.

By the time all 21 were ready to hand over to the client, we had some great designs and the client was extremely happy. We’d supplied exactly what they were looking for, on time and more importantly on budget and this was in no small part down to Craig.

Many thanks.

For Baseline, from Mark Leary, BLU:72

Caroline and I would like to thank you for taking the time to look at our mortgage recently, I have to admit that your advice to stay with our current provider was both pleasing and unexpected and it is great credit to your ethical approach to your business which was very obvious for us both to see. As we agreed at the time we look forward to hearing from you if something more appropriate comes available to us and will have no hesitation in recommending your services to those who ask us. Thanks again.

For Paul Jones IFA, from Tristan Day, Sandwich Bank

I would like to tell you how pleased I am with the work you have done for me on my new salon, dimenZion on Attenborough Lane (http://www.dimenzion.com) . Your excellent tradesmanship, friendly and punctual work ethic has resulted in an excellent addition to our makeover. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to anybody who is looking for a tiler. Thank you!

For MG Tiling, from From Chriss Day, dimenZion Unisex Hair Salon

I am writing to formally thank you for the support and advice you provided 12 months ago. It has in the last few days proved its worth a thousand fold when my business suffered a computer hard-drive failure. This could have proved disastrous for my business as the hard-drive in question contained all my business data.

Fortunately having followed your advice and implemented a very cost-effective data backup solution, my business data remained accessible on-line and on another computer with which a duplicate of the data was available.

Sometimes we believe that these things will never happen to us, however this is the second time I have had a computer hard-drive failure in as many years and thanks to your advice I have managed to avoid disaster. I have no reservations in recommending your services to others and your support is greatly appreciated.

For JPT Solutions, from Oliver Wastell, RPB Properties

Thank you for helping me with the text on my Website. The front page is now clear and concise, getting over the necessary message.

I will not hesitate to recommend your services, for not only your excellent technical writing capabilities, but also your training skills.

I found you a pleasure to work with, and being such a good listener, I am sure you will create whatever a customer has in their minds eye. I look forward to working with you again on similar projects.

For Clearly Stated, from Philippa Clarke, Red Carpet Treatment

I would like to formally thank you for all your help and support.

Although Red Carpet Treatment only currently employs a small amount of staff members, your advice has been key to implementing a Independent Performance Review procedure, and making an important step towards more efficient and structured man management.

I look forward to working with you as my company grows, and hopefully you will enjoy seeing Red Carpet Treatments’ staff and myself benefit from it as a result.

Your personable, professional and friendly attitude to a potentially difficult subject has been most valuable. I would not hesitate to recommend your services where appropriate.

For Stewart and Baker, from Philippa Clarke, Red Carpet Treatment

There is nothing more frustrating than trying to fix something you do not understand!

JPT have been absolutely vital in helping our business overcome problems quickly, with little disruption to the business; resulting in very little downtime.

JPT are calm, highly responsive and clear experts in their field.

With the best will in the world, most businesses cannot avoid the IT issues which then go on to ruin the days plans, or even the week.

Problems you do not plan for;

Emails issues
Lost data
Failing hard drives
Broken laptops
Pirate software
Security and encryption
Business continuity
Websites going down

Such problems are always made worse when you spend hours trying to fix it yourself!

The team at Fresh would whole-heartedly recommend JPT Solutions – in particular, their Managed Services package ensures the costs do not spiral out of control , no matter how many unpredictable problems you have.

For JPT Solutions, from Kirsty Cambers, Fresh Marketing

For Fresh, Higsons have been more than just an accountancy practice.

Higsons have delivered extra value for us as a young growing business;

Advice & support with payroll, developing team targets and management, detaching ourselves as Directors, from day to day micro-management
Trustworthy experts to advise us on how to reduce previously crippling tax bills
Business Consultation on how we progress, grow & manage cash flow
A source of new business and ongoing referrals/ testimonials

Not only can we stay focused on what we are good at and running the business, but we have a partnership in nursing our business through growth.

The team at Fresh would whole heartedly recommend Higsons as an added value accountancy practice.

For Higson and Co, from Kirsty Cambers, Fresh Marketing

Thank you for such an interesting and thought-provoking seminar yesterday – I had been wondering why my attempts at networking had not been producing the results I wanted…and now I know.

I have found myself mentally revisiting, over and over again, many of the things that were discussed, seeing how they could be applied to my own business. Just one of the exercises you had us do helped me to identify the real issue – a truly enlightening moment.

The seminar is going to more than pay for itself as I now understand much more clearly why my strategy so far hasn’t been working, enabling me to shift my focus to techniques that will.

I’m happy to recommend Referral Success 101 to anyone trying to grow a business by referral.

Thanks again!

For Rob Brown, from Alison Peck, Clearly Stated

I would like to thank you for the quick installation of a new front door lock at our house. As I had explained the current lock was starting to fail and we were concerned that it would fail one day and we would not be able to get in.

Thanks so much for resolving this so quickly and painlessly, I would not hesitate to recommend you.

For CC Ltd, from Rob Franklin, JPT Solutions

I attended one of Rob’s Referral Success 101 seminars.

If you are interested in making the most of your referral networking then this course would be great for you. On this course, I learned how to be more targeted with my approach to my networking, allowing me to work smarter not harder.

In addition to these seminars, Rob has also written an array of books, is a great key note speaker / MC and also works in a coaching / consultancy capacity.

A very knowledgeable man, who would be an asset to work with, for any business.

I am hoping to work with Rob more in the future.

For Rob Brown, from Craig Barker, Baseline

I would like to formally thank you for your consultancy services. With your professional pragmatic approach, and practical advice, my business has already seen the benefit and will see tangiable results.

Paul’s financial advice has been invaluable to assist in making Red Carpet Treatment a solid going concern.

I look forward to a long term working relationship, and I would not hesitate to recommend Paul’s services to others where appropriate.

For Goodman Corporate, from Philippa Clarke, Red Carpet Treatment

We have worked with Alison now on a couple of occasions and each time she has proved to be both highly skilled and

professional.

We are hoping that from this point on we will be working with Alison as an integral part of our team, whenever there is a requirement for copywriting or ‘rewriting of jargon’.

From our point of view, if you have website that looks great and works great, you are going to quickly come unstuck if the the information on it make no sense or sounds unprofessional.

I strongly recommend the use of Alison’s services.

Thanks for everything Alison, a job well done!

For Clearly Stated, from Craig Barker, Baseline

Tony and Mark of B4 Painting decorated our halls stairs and landing.

The job was completed to a high level, on time and on budget, you cannot ask any more.

I love decorating, but have a busy schedule and love to spend my spare time with my family. It just makes sense for me to get a professional company like B4 painting to complete the work.

I hope to work with B4 painting, many times to come. I strongly recommend the use of their services.

Thanks for everything chaps, a job well done!

For B4 Painting, from Craig Barker, Baseline

Mick Graham of MG Tiling is far and away the most professional and accomplished tiler we have come across. He did a superb job tiling our large kitchen and utility room, which now looks fantastic!

Mick is both extremely easy to work with and a perfectionist with his level of workmanship!

Reliable to the utmost, I would recommend you engage Mick on any tiling job where you want a first class service, an accomplished finish and a fair price.

For MG Tiling, from Rob Brown, The Referral Institute

Thank you again

As with many small businesses in the current economic climate, I’ve been looking at ways to lower my costs. I’ve thought about using non-original toners in the past, but have always been put off by stories of poor quality or – even worse – expensive damage to my printer.

The new-build toners you provided for my OKI laser printer are great. I am not only saving considerably on the cost of branded cartridges but can also tell visually just how much toner I have left, making sure I waste as little as possible. Add to that, the colour quality is brilliant – vibrant and clear, easily as good as the originals were.

So thank you very much – I’ve saved money without sacrificing quality, and as the majority of my printing ends up in front of my customers, quality is very important to me.

Thank you for the excellent service you recently provided in marketing our property in Broxtowe.

We were very impressed by the quality of the advertisement and the number of property portals on which the property was marketed. We greatly appreciated the flexibility you showed in marketing the property on a Rent-to-Own basis and the time you took to understand the system.

Your marketing produced plenty of qualified tenant/buyers for the property in a very short space of time. We will not hesitate to use your services again and we look forward to developing a fruitful relationship with yourselves going forward.

Once again, thank you.

For Remax Nottingham, from Oliver Wastell, RPB Properties

I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the excellent job your technician did while cleaning our carpets recently. He was very efficient and knowlegeable and the carpets have come up a treat!!

I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to everyone I know!

For Red Carpet Treatment, from Mark Leary, blu:72 creative

Tony Towers and Mark Benner from B 4 Painting have undertaken three painting projects for RPB Properties Limited over the last six months and the service provided in every case has gone well beyond expectations.

The first project was for an elderly tenant who was moving into a retirement cottage. Not only was the work carried out in good time and to the agreed cost, but the quality of the work was great and the service provided excellent – my former tenant is still happily singing their praises.

The other projects were both conducted within tight deadlines and although B 4 Painting were given very little notice, their flexibility ensured that the jobs were completed in time for which I was extremely grateful. The prices charged were extremely competitive and I won’t hesitate to use their services again. I give B 4 Painting my full endorsement for any painting work one might require.

For B 4 Painting, from Oliver Wastell, RPB Properties

Thank you very much for supplying us with our latest set of ink cartridges. The speed of your response and delivery was very much appreciated.

Nottingham Heating Services supplied and fitted a new radiator for us recently and as the weather is now turning colder, it’s made a big difference! The work was completed quickly and efficiently with no mess, at a great price.

I would highly recommend Gordon to anyone requiring plumbing and heating work to be carried out.

After recently attending your “Strategic Marketing Master Class” workshop I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for the invaluable information and training I gained from it.

I've spent the last few months thinking about ideas to generate more sales and turnover for my business, and the different methods of marketing you discussed on the first day were invaluable in helping me evaluate the pro's and con's of each type. The thing I found most impressive was that your main interest as a marketing company is the “return on investment” and the results that different forms of marketing can bring to a business. All too often when I've spoken to marketing companies in the past they talk about advertising, brochures, etc. and what it's going to cost but never seem to get to the value it can bring to me, the client. I found the content of the workshop in relation to what value a tailor made marketing strategy can bring to my business refreshing.

The part of the workshop that brought me the most value however, was the marketing/business plan we produced on the second day. The 1-2-1 training gave me the opportunity to take the ideas I've been thinking about for the last few months and actually get them down on paper in order to take my business forward.

It's a bit of a cliché but the two days were time well spent “on the business” as opposed to being caught up in the day to day events of “working in the business”. I would again, like to express my thanks to you and will have no hesitation in recommending the workshop to fellow business associates and contacts.

Brian Watkinson from Shelton's Solicitors helped us with our will and going forward he will be helping us with various business advice and legal documents. He was very easy to speak to and very thorough.

He gave us very frank, honest advice with our Will. He had an eye for details and no imperfection on our old Will escaped him.

Brian will have the foresight to make sure that you cover yourself as much as possible as far as your Will is concerned and make sure you you don’t leave your family open to any unnecessary grief in the event of something happening to you.

I feel that it is very important to protect your family. If you feel the same, then Brian is the right person to speak to. I would not hesitate in recommending his services.

Rob has made it a smooth and easy transition from our previous IT support as well as with our move to other premises. At the same time retrieving much of the data and replacing a crashed hard-drive at a difficult time.

We now have a regular backup of data and emails and with efficiency monitoring, the PCs and laptops continue to work at a good speed. I am confident in JPT Solutions ability to solve any problem that may arise very promptly as well as being readily contactable and he is able to deal with very many problems via remote access. His rates are also very competitive.

For JPT Solutions, from David Bytham, IT 'n' Ink

I attended Sheltons offices this year to have my will updated and was very pleased with the service I received.

Brian Watkinson gave me good sound advice when needed, and the will was drawn up very efficiently, with all aspects explained to me.

This has given me great peace of mind, I know my loved ones will be catered for in the event of my demise, without unwarranted delay.

For Sheltons Solicitors, from Jo Caudell, Utility Warehouse

Having been informed by mutual clients of the quality of services provided by Fresh Marketing Solutions Ltd, I signed up to attend a web marketing workshop they were running at the end of May 2009 at the Dakota Hotel near Junction 26 of the M1.

The obvious aim here was to attain a greater understanding of how we could generate more customers from our website, which, it is fair to say, had previously served merely as a notice board.

I could not possibly overstate the quality of the whole experience of dealing with the team at Fresh, from the handling of the booking procedure by Bryan Gray through to the quality of the course material provided by Craig Barker and his colleague David Stump.

Following my attendance on this workshop, I have amended both the ResQ website and one for my holiday cottage in Norfolk (www.summerbreezecley.co.uk), resulting in considerable increases in visitor traffic and substantial new revenue streams.

Given the success that has resulted from my attendance on this workshop, I, understandably, would not hesitate to recommend the services of Fresh Marketing Solutions Ltd.

For Fresh Marketing Solutions, from Neil Harvey, ResQ Management Resources

Thank you for cleaning the carpet at my office, your service was excellent, especially the advice from the technician, thank you.

I have no hesitation in recommending you and your company.

Thanks again

For Red Carpet Treatment, from Chris Spencer, CMS Electrical

Thank you for supplying me with the cartridges, they were very good. I had my reservations, but the ink was very good quality and has not given us any trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending you & your company.

Thanks again.

For IT 'n' Ink, from Chris Spencer, CMS Electrical

Paul has helped us with various personal and business advice and solutions. We were very pleased with the way he made sure we understood everything before we made any decisions.

He gave us very frank, honest advice on various matters from life cover to investments and pensions. We cannot recommend his services highly enough.

If you're looking for someone who will advise you against doing something that is not in your best interest, even if that means he loses out on the potential commission, then Paul is the right IFA for you.

Paul is the best person to speak to if you are wanting to secure or make the most of your financial situation. We are looking forward to working with Paul for the long term to make ourselves more prosperous.

For Positive Solutions, from Craig Barker, Baseline

Thank you for providing me with a plan of action to upgrade my house and business electrical wiring up to the latest industry standards.

Whilst I could not afford to have everything done at once you have been helpful in prioritising the most important work, so that I can in stages bring the electrical wiring up-to-date according to my most urgent needs.

The essential initial improvements were done quickly and efficiently to neatly fit in with the business moving into my own home, as well as tidying up and safely securing loose ends of wiring at the old business premises in time for ending the lease.

Your staff are always very helpful and friendly and I will be very happy to recommend your company to any business or household requiring your high standard of service.

For CMS Electrical, from David Bytham, IT 'n' Ink

David, I would like to thank you for your professional and friendly service. Having experienced problems with my existing printer, you have gone the extra mile to ensure I can continue with my work. When my printer would not work, you personally delivered some cleaner and cartridges to try and resolve the problem and help in any way possible.

I will not hesitate to pass on your details to anyone who I think might benefit, and wish you a long and prosperous future in business.
