In particular, I have overseen his work on the following significant projects:
I have always found David to be a very competent and reliable mason producing consistently high quality work. On a personal level, I have found him to be a man of honesty and integrity. I have no difficult, therefore, recommending him for consideration and undertaking any heritage conservation or repair work of stonework.”
