Reliable

We have used Blackhurst Budd several times before and found them straight to the point. Very helpful and never puts you off. Will always tell you how it is. Cost wise they are middle of the road but never charge over the top.

I have had many dealings with Suzanne Leonard from Blackhurst Budd. I would recommend her 100 % to anyone. Her professional attitude, yet caring nature is to be commended. She has never, ever let me down in anything that I have asked of her. She deals with things immediately and keeps you informed every step of the way. You cannot ask for anything else. She is a credit to the company.
