We are very pleased with how they look and that they will be a ‘boon’ for our children in terms of shade and rain protection. However my main reason for writing is that I am very pleased with the way in which your staff Martin Sears and Timothy Barclay, have carried out the project. The space we used for the canopies is a main thoroughfare to our playgrounds. They have managed to keep this are very tidy and safe throughout the week so that we can function as a school without any inconvenience. This was mainly due to Martin and Timothy, who in addition to doing such a good job have worked exceptionally well, ensuring ‘business as usual’ and have been very friendly with staff and children. They are a credit to your company and I hope that you will let them know that I have followed up my appreciation of them with this letter.

Our school has previously had numerous canopies built around it with different companies and sub-contractors involved, but Clovis has provided the most skillful and effective workforce to date! I would thoroughly recommend you to other schools! Congratulations and thank you for a job well done.

Carole Allan - School Business Manager, Churchfields Infants' School

I just wanted to inform you that we have had one of your canopies installed this week and we are thrilled with it – it looks fabulous! Also, the workmen who have been on site this week have been fantastic. They have been polite, flexible and very aware of our “working needs” as a school. These days, we so seldom see companies delivering what they say they will and it has been refreshing change to have this installation done at the agreed time, on time and to such a high finish. Please pass on my thanks to all your staff involved with the whole process – from Lawson to the guys installing this week and everyone in between. Thank you.

Just to let you know how pleased we are with our lovely new shelter. It looks great and fits in very well with our entrance. Will send you photo when we take one. Also wanted to congratulate your workmen on how polite and accommodating they were to schools needs. They are exceptionally sympathetic about children and parents using the entrance while they were working and went out of their way to please everybody in school. They were pleasure to have on the premises. Please pass on our thanks to them and to the Contract Manager who made everything happen so smoothly.
