Absolutely top class from start to finish

Email to Matt

Thanks again for the understanding from today, it was painful but we got there.

I also wanted to say that the guys today were absolutely top class from start to finish, incredibly helpful and polite, nothing was too much bother and it helped make what was a really difficult and stressful day for us a hell of a lot easier. 

A real credit to the business, and if we move again we will 100% be using Britannia Goodwins thanks to those guys.

Thanks
