Thank you for the quotation from Martin Butchers, which I shall take forward to our next PCC meeting for consideration and thank you also for Jonathan Lee’s kind attention while carrying out his inspection of the clock drive.

Thank you for the work carried out so far. Everyone at school has expressed their delight at hearing the bell chime.

I would like to record my thanks to Paul for his professionalism and can do attitude. It’s great to finally have the clock striking again.

I cannot say how much I was pleased by Eric’s professional skills in his near week of work to restore our much admired timepiece, and the return of the clock chimes and strikes has provoked much appreciation from our hamlet.

Good morning Peter,
Firstly may I commend the workmen you assigned to repair our clock, they were very professional, efficient and diligent in carrying out the repairs needed. I would like to request that for future servicing and repairs that we would like this engineer to attend as he has been the most thorough in carrying out his work and knew what had to be done.

 

Dear Julie, Matthew duly came and fitted everything in the Church earlier this week, and I am delighted to say that John Wilding, our resident clock keeper, informs me that the clock is keeping time to the second on every strike. He is very pleased! Will you please pass this on to Matthew and say how much we appreciated his efficient work. I hope he enjoyed his visit to our village. Kind regards, John.

“Smiths of Derby integrated the Glockenspiel successfully into a new structure to give this well loved London feature a new lease of life. This was a particularly difficult project working with the Swiss and stakeholders around Leicester Square to ensure that it not only fitted in with the area and add vibrancy to Swiss Court but had to be accessible and easy to maintain given the very busy location. Smiths’ colloborative approach ensured the project was a resounding success and it was a pleasure to work with them.”

We’re so pleased with the clock repair work carried out by local clockmakers Mike Tomlinson and Kevin Ireland. We will 100% recommend Smith of Derby Clockmakers to our friends in the future. Both clockmakers are a credit to your company and they’re very professional in what they do. We were worried that our Dance Studio would be affected by the work but this wasn’t the case at all. Everything ran so smoothly.

We are extremely pleased with the pavilion refurbishment and in particular the clock which blends perfectly with the style of the pavilion.

 

“Good afternoon Peter, just to let you know that, nearly four weeks down the line, the clock at Kendal Parish church is still keeping time re the quarter chimes. Looks like you cracked it!! Thank you very much, to all concerned, for all the ‘time’ and effort you have put into finding the correct solution”

I can, in all honesty, say that this was the best ‘works visit’ I have ever been on. The range of skills which your staff display is truly wonderful; if possible please let them know of my comments.
