Bill and Ian were very helpful when we visited Chandlers Archives to carry out a due diligence review. Every question and concern that we had was answered in a professional and reassuring manner. Hurdles that we had (due to our lack of experience) were overcome by Bill and Ian. We are now making great progress with our archiving thanks to the assistance given by Bill and Ian. A great professional, affordable, knowledgeable and local archiving service - thank you.
