Testimonials

Julie Morrow, Occupational Therapist: Ferndene - Inpatient Centre for Young People
'We are delighted with our new library chair for Ferndene. Naomi was extremely professional throughout. She worked well with all of the young people, ensuring everyone’s ideas and thoughts were captured in the end product. Thank you so much, we would definitely recommend this to others who want something bespoke and different'.
