Charlotte was excellent - dedicated, extremely personable yet professional. Always returned calls when she could - if not her efficient and friendly secretary Heather would call back to inform me of why she couldn't.
A few improvements which I will cite below......

I attended the Ward Gethin Archer Open Day recently in Heacham.
There were a number of people present and I took the opportunity to speak to a member of the Team.
Cheryl Page was friendly approachable and knowledgeable. As a result, I booked a formal appointment and have been pleased with the service and communication from both Cheryl and her Secretary.
