Report
I have used John Pipe on a number of occasions to produce specific wooden packing boxes for various items. They are always friendly, helpful and responsive and what we get at the end is exactly what I was looking for. Other colleagues where I work also use them for a variety of packing jobs, both big and small, and they also are happy with using them.
