‘We have worked with the Birketts team for over 20 years now and have an excellent working relationship with the team. They are always available to help when needed, even at short notice, and they always turn around the work quickly.'
'The team will always do what has your best interests in mind, they never try to squeeze extra work and will always take the most pragmatic route, and guide you with their honest recommendations which you absolutely can trust as you know it comes from a wealth of expertise, knowledge, skills and real-world experience.'
'The additional work they do within the community in terms of events and charitable work are notable - it is nice to see authenticity in this approach.’
‘We have worked with Paul Palik for over 20 years and he has a strong understanding of our business and the challenging industry we operate in. One key benefit of working with Paul for this duration is that he has supported us at each stage of our evolution as a business and helped us to adapt our contracts to protect our business and support our valued customers. He is second to none when it comes to knowing the details in relation to the various work completed over the years. I'm not sure how he retains so much knowledge but it is exceptional. We trust Paul implicitly and simply cannot recommend him highly enough and it goes without saying that we hope our relationship continues for at least another 20 years!'
'Jack Shreeve has worked on some very challenging commercial contracts which he has handled efficiently, with diligence and clear competence. Having worked with Jack on several contracts over the years, it really does feel like he knows us and our business which we find very beneficial. We look forward to working with Jack for many more years to come. ’
