Hello Cara,

I hope that you are the correct person to address this to as we both want to acknowledge the great work from you guys and how lovely it looks (even in the winter!). We are looking forward to seeing it come into leaf in the Spring.

It has been a lovely experience for us, informed and talented people throughout from concept to design, through execution on site and, perhaps somewhat uniquely, universally really nice people. We have been extremely impressed throughout.

You took the brief with clarity, you worked to the budget and delivered a spectacular result. You introduced your preferred specialists for matters such as ornate gates and that was a nice and rewarding element as well.

In terms of the scope of the execution Nicholsons utilised your in house teams for forestry, fencing, hard and soft landscaping as you know. Some team, you made it look easy with noticeable progress day after day, no anxiety just work ethic.

The forestry team were only with us for a day (but lots of them!) and so, alas, I don’t have all their names to hand but please pass on our thanks to them.

For those members of your team that we have had much more time with would you please also pass on our sincere thanks to Tina for design, Jack McKenna for contract management and to the team on delivery Jack Horwood, Mike, Jake, Richard, Billie and the others who steadfastly executed the delivery.

Lockdown has meant I have been working from home and so I have had the good fortune to see the team on-site on a daily basis and Jack McKenna regularly as well. They are a thoroughly nice group of people both individually and as a working unit. It was our pleasure to have them at our house and their talent can be seen in what has been delivered. They, and Nicholsons, should be proud of their skill and achievements as I am sure you are.

Thank you.

Best

Geoff and Brigitte”
