Size doesn’t matter

I would like to say a huge thank you to your staff at your Galashiels’s depot, they were extremely helpful in giving me the advice I needed. They were unable to supply my complete order so directed me to your website where I placed the complete order delivered FOC. I am a small fish in a big pond, size doesn’t matter to CEF. I was treated as a valuable customer. Thank you CEF.
