Default Quick announcement re. our services

I'd like to start by thanking everyone for their support over the last few years , we're at a point now that we're too busy to carry on the way we are and something has to give , we're starting to let people down with regards to answering emails and getting work booked in and completed in a reasonable timespan .
It was never our intention to let anyone down but there is only so much time in the day , things will start to get rushed and our standards will fall which I won't have . We are booking work in now for next year which is too long for most people to wait .
I've decided we're going to concentrate on building and supplying bodykits and stop the repair and painting side .

Again I'd like to thank everyone for their support it really is appreciated !

Great to hear you are keeping too busy in these tough ecconomic times - clearly you work & future bookings speak for themselves!

Good Luck!!

And Matt, didn't you see how beautifully prepared the ESC MLR car was..... we could do you a cracking job - so long as it's pink!!

As above, glad to hear business is in such a good state
Good luck with the new direction, with the kits we've seen of late I'm sure business will continue to grow

Can't complain at being busy in the current climate, speaks volumes for the standard of your service.

Good luck with the change in focus, hope it all works out well for you


P.S keep a stock of blue just in case

as has been said already, glad to hear you boys are going from strength to strength and as you said if you start to rush jobs your workmanship will start to slip. The last thing you guys want in your line of work is people moaning.

I would use Dal in a second for all bodykit work, but for a local company who are excellent at repairing bumps etc, you cannot go wrong with John and Darcy at Prestige Bodyworks in Southend.

Remember, they were the company that did Emem's respray

To be fair Daren it has taken a while for your great products to get the recognition / credit that they deserve , i feel that this recent change of tack is a credit to both you & Rob for all the great work that you have put into the various scoobs over the last few years

you are a very clever man & I'm sure that your business will continue to thrive , best of luck for the future

Never used you ABW but and i say that again BUT
if people want a top job and are willing to wait
let em book you for what ever they require
that will also speak volumes
good job and i do so hope to be able too use your obvious skill at some time
but not for a bump of course
a kit :-)

a very big BIG UP FOR ABW

Well deserved recognition of your great work that you are so busy and although it must be hard to turn work away it should be the right choice to avoid letting anyone down.

I have heard good things about both Prestige Bodyworks & Supreme Motor Bodies & would also recommend Maldon Carbody (LJS European)

Sounds promising mate!!

Hope it all works out mate!
