Professional, personal and tailored - perfect!
We found Emma to be professional but at the same time extremely friendly and approachable. Everything was explained in clear language, that really helped up make our decisions and consider things fully.
From the first meeting we felt completely at ease with Emma, and still do today.
Would highly recommend.
