I thought it might be a good idea to provide a forum where people can make personal recommendations for businesses or services they have received, to help others in the area to decide who to use should the need arise.

Please do not use this to 'sell yourself' - the idea is that somebody who has received good service can decide to recommend that business if they choose. It is NOT a free advertising board. You can use the classifieds for that!

Please also be aware that standards of service are not always consistent, so a personal recommendation is NOT a guarantee of good service.

An individual's view of what constitutes good service may not match yours. Be aware of that!

A photo of the work carried out (if appropriate!) might be useful too.
