What else ...

To whom it may concern

I have known Martin Jugmans for over thirty years. Initially he was part of a small team of builders who carried out extensive renovation work at my property in France. Since then over the years I have regularly employed him for many different exterior and interior refurbishments. When away on business trips the world over, I could trust Martin to carry out the work to a very high standard in my absence. He communicates clearly and can be relied upon to work independently, delivering above and beyond expectations where the property, including the garden and our dog (who is no more) are concerned. My children are now young adults but when they were young I often called upon Martin to look after them also during my absences as I knew I could trust him entirely. He has become a true friend to the entire family.
