Please see below review from the customer regarding this.

Good evening Paul, Martin, Gary, Wayne, Dave, Rob, Jay, Dan, Tom, Charlie, Harry, Joe, Lee, Jamie, Phil, Darren,  Jim, Steven, Brett, Alan, Stuart, Lewis, Phil, Phil’s Mum, Priscilla, David, Tom, Sam plus many others, apologies if I have missed anyone off.

Almost exactly one year ago our world rather fell apart when our lovely home suffered a major fire. We walked away that day stinking of smoke with just a bin bag full of Red Cross Clothes.

Then kicked in the support organised by Aviva. First A3 relocation services arranged for us to stay at the Old Tollgate in Bramber. This would be home for 5 weeks until we moved into our rental just 2 minutes from Chetsford.

8am the day after the fire we met with Stuart from Disaster Care and they have been with us all the way restoring what they could of our contents. Thanks to the amazing team at Disaster Care, Teaselwood and Leo Frames, not to forget Phil’s Mum, we have got so many precious items back. Thank you so much.

In circa September 2020  Steven from Smithers Purslow met with us and immediately we knew we were in safe hands. Steven has overseen all aspects of our re build with a real attention to detail and a truly caring and understanding approach to what we have been through. Steven you have been a real superstar.

Through Steven we were introduced to the amazing Acorn and wow, what an incredible job Acorn have done. Each and every member of the Acorn team have been outstanding.

This weekend we move back to Chetsford and this is thanks to all your amazing work. In particular I would like to thank Paul and Martin from Acorn as they have been so supportive through the whole re build

Sarah, Isabel, Eva Maria and I will be eternally grateful to all of you for all of your brilliant work, your help and support. You were with us in the darkest of times and thanks to your work you have given us our home back. Thank you.

We have attached a few photos of Chetsford from today.

On Sunday we go home. Maybe, just maybe, we won’t be the only ones coming home on Sunday

Thank you so so much for all your amazing help and support.

Dan , Sarah, Isabel and Eva Maria
