More feedback from Richard Frost...
Three months ago I purchased some agility equipment from David Howes for my wife’s birthday. It consisted of a Dog Walk, See Saw, A-Frame and 8 Jumps. I decided to go to David after having read a review by Toni Dawkins which I saw on your website, he seemed considerably cheaper than the leading suppliers, and on the face of it the equipment seemed to be the same size, same thickness, and same quality that you would expect to see in competition.  

David was very helpful throughout the order process, even when we called him to change the colour! - at the time David was on holiday but the day he got back he called us to say that although he had already started painting the equipment he would still change it for us. This was clearly above and beyond the level of service that we expected to receive and I can’t thank him enough for it.

When we received the equipment (delivered in person by David and his wife) we were extremely impressed – in fact, I still can’t believe how he manages to produce an outstanding product at such an affordable price, add to this the exceptional level of customer service we received and I understand why he has gained a following of loyal customers.  

In summary, if you’re looking for KC standard agility equipment at home, you would be hard pushed to find anyone who can provide the quality of product, the excellent price and the overall service that David provides. (16/07/09)
