"I just wanted to say thankyou for all the time and support you dedicated to this case, it is greatly appreciated given it was such a head ache with a very small time frame to work with. I'm sure I will be in contact with you soon as our portfolio grows but in the mean time I will be sure to recommend as and when possible." Jordan Catterall - W&J Properties and Investments Limited
