Testimonials

I welcomed her approach and complete professionalism from beginning to end. My new living room is my haven and I enjoy spending time in it. If you are apprehensive about seeking help for your home I can't recommend Guthrie & Kirkwood enough.

Elle had been highly recommended to us by a previous client. I cannot express my absolute gratefulness towards Elle for her professional approach and understanding throughout the project. Nothing ever seems to be a problem, decisions were made efficiently.

When we finally took the decision to start our business, we had everything in hand concerning our product, suppliers and a clear vision of how we’d share our passion as chef-led fishmongers with the people of Chislehurst and surrounding areas. We had secured our premises in a prime location in Chislehurst but we knew we needed assistance in giving our brand and the shop a strong identity. From the moment we sat down with Elle for the concept meeting it was clear to us that she had taken our business plan and associated slide deck and projected it into reality. When we walked away from the meeting we felt bowled over and genuinely excited about the prospect of what was to come. We felt that Elle not only understood the concept, but was taking the identity of the shop into a new and exciting direction. Elle worked hard to take us out of our comfort zone, and reassured us that it would work and work well to move away from the classic design of a fishmonger and create a design that was bold and contemporary and above all, operational. All aspects of the shop, concerning building works, building regs, trades, project management and implementation were dealt with by Elle. She was on site constantly, liaised with us and all trades, dealt with the triumphs and also the challenging aspects of the job without question. We chose to invest in her because we didn’t want to carry those pressures and we were well aware that our expertise lay elsewhere. I cannot recommend her and her services highly enough and we look forward to working with her again on our next opening.
