Extraordinary company. Burnetts are incredible. I felt cared for, and reassured the whole time. Michelle and Charlotte are incredibly professional but compassionate and approachable too.No question was too silly to ask, they were always quick to return my calls or emails. I felt really looked after. I felt they journeyed with me emotionally, which really helped me keep going with what was a really difficult time. I would not hesitate in using Burnetts again.
