Testimonial...
Richard Loyd, North Moreton Project Manager:
I want to express our sincere gratitude to you for a job extremely well done.
On hearing the 8 bells for the first time yesterday, we were all thrilled beyond measure with the results. The bells blend in superbly with the old 6 dating from various times in history from c1350.
There was some anticipation about the potential for messing up an already beautiful 6, but we should not have been worried in the slightest. This is all down to the outstanding bell castings by Eijsbouts, and the expert tuning and professional design and hanging by Whites. There is no doubt that this is a truly winning partnership!
We are now excitedly looking forward to ringing for the Coronation celebration on Saturday.
Our ringing and village communities will cherish your workmanship now, and for centuries to come. We believe that this project involved every single member of the Whites team in some way, so please forward this communication and thanks to them all.
