Report
I have been using Mitchell and Gordon for three years now and have always had an excellent experience with them. Very helpful, professional, polite and sensible. I felt the need to write this review after seeing the one star review which I think is unfair. As a testament to this company I have continued using them even after moving from the NE England to Scotland. Highly recommended.
