I called ALT to produce an Order of Service for my father’s funeral.
It's an emotional time and I didn't feel confident enough to design it myself, so I called ALT at 5 minutes to closure time on a Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Sam's voice on the phone!! I explained the situation and Sam's calm demeanour was reassuring that they could design and deliver what our family needed.When I emailed my father’s picture, Sam without confirmation that they would get my business, enhanced and returned my picture. It looked amazing and I was so grateful. He then referred me to the lovely Anna who designed a proof so quickly and accommodated all my bespoke requests. Nothing was too big or small and she was so responsive. When the final PDF proof came I couldn't have been happier. The prints arrived quickly and securely and the quality of the finish the card/paper was exceptional to look at and to touch. A Loving Trubute were professional, attentive and a pleasure to do business with.
May you go from strength to strength. Truly. All the best" MP.
