Tony Slack MMI

Managing Director & Retailer Principal, Derek Slat Motors ltd

Just wanted to thank you for all your help and being part of the house build.  It has been an incredible journey and made many friends along the way.  The end result is “Glasshouse”, something everyone involved with should be very proud of. 

 

I was meticulous in choosing the right product for our home and having lived in the house just over a month I’ve not been disappointed.
