We were most pleased with your service and particularly that of our consultant, Jo Taylor. Superbly good service in every respect from Jo would be an understatement. She was pleasant to deal with, in fact, most congenial, incredibly efficient, very knowledgeable and thoroughly professional throughout. We cannot say enough good things about Jo. She was a total joy to work with and she did an outstanding job for us in every way. She clearly gets a 5***** platinum rating from us!
