Thomas’ Advice
“Really go for it. I felt that the help and assistance I got met everything I needed, you’re very friendly staff and kept in touch with me quite regularly. At the time, I appreciate we were going through COVID but nobody tried to push me, you let me go at my own pace. You took me on at my own pace and still got through it quickly in that respect.”
