“I was very happy with the service provided by Bridge McFarland and Chris Gresswell-Green. You were very helpful, friendly, informative and genuine in their concern for my case and needs.

Chris, you’re a star and Bridge McFarland is very lucky to have you working for them. Thank you for your time and genuine concern. Ashley Connor ”
