“Having worked with Craigmyle… I can honestly think of nobody else who can provide the know-how, the support and the clear approach that they brought. Even in troubled economic times it is extraordinary what can be achieved with a clear vision, positive leadership and collaboration from all.”
Kevin Ronaldson, Chairman of the Cirencester Parish Church Campaign
