Dear Andrew

Re: Brunel Gardens, Bradford

I can confirm that we have dealt with Hobson & Porter Limited for several years, during
which time they have provided refurbishment building services through various
procurement methods - priced schedules of work, plan and specification, tenders or
negotiated methods.

In all cases they have conducted themselves in a professional manner and completed
the works on time. They have provided sufficient information to enable good financial
control and have settled the final account within a realistic time after completion of the
works.

They have always promptly returned to site to carry out any snagging or defects work
notified to them.

I can recommend Hobson & Porter Limited as a reliable contractor who will provide a
properly and adequately priced project and deliver a project to a realistic standard and
quality in a workman like manner.

Yours sincerely

Antony Hale
