DEAR EDITOR -- Some weeks ago you printed an article in the Advertiser/Messenger concerning the generosity of a local firm in repairing and recovering a number of armchairs for a Bromsgrove charity.

Because of this article I contacted J's Furnishings of Aston Fields and they were able to repair and reupholster several chairs for me.

The work was of the highest quality and at a very reasonable charge.

Last week my much-used recliner chair developed a problem and, because of their courteous and helpful manner, I rang this company to ask if they could recommend a local firm which did this kind of work.

This it could not do but the young man I spoke to offered to come and look at the chair for me himself. He was able to effect a temporary repair, which enabled me to use my chair, and would accept no payment except my thanks.

We are very lucky in Bromsgrove to have a number of shops and businesses where this kind and helpful attitude prevails. I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to this excellent firm and wish them every good fortune in their new business venture!
