Thank You!

Had a chat with Grant just today, looked at many of the old photographs etc. real people, real history. The business has made a marvellous contribution so many builders, farmers, factories, private homes, and the equestrian world around malvern for decades. Grant was a great help when a team of us restored the war memory bench in Church Road Malvern Link in 2017.

It was a real pleasure to get to record and tell their story. It's amazing to see how much was done

Great to hear how many people remember their work

Grant and Denny was the reason I wanted to be a farrier. Miss den so much. They treated me like family and miss all the Morgan’s

[@danbarkerstudios]

That’s really nice to hear Sarah - we certainly got that impression when we met everyone.
