“I first went to Bright New Me in July 2018 after experiencing adult acne for six years. I had tried what felt like every treatment available with no signs of improvement. From my first appointment with Sarah I felt confident that I had finally found the treatment I needed. Sarah took the time to explain my skin and the causes of my acne. She provided a tailored skincare regime and I also managed to get a HydraFacial on the same day. The results have been incredible. After two months I had stopped wearing foundation for the first time in years. It's now been 11 months and not only has my acne nearly completely resolved but the scarring and pigmentation I thought I would have long term has also reduced significantly. My skin improves weekly and I have received compliments that it looks "radiant". The team at Bright New Me have been consistently supportive and accessible whenever I need them, whether to order further products or for skincare advice. The regular HydraFacials with Julie are wonderful and she is also a wealth of skincare knowledge and advice. I would highly recommend attending Bright New Me and I will certainly continue to do so.”

“My son has been learning the electric guitar at The Music Shed for over two years. The teaching is absolutely first class and he is now a very accomplished musician. He plays in one of their many bands, which has increased his confidence, team working skills and playing ability massively. The school is run by Dave and Dawn who work tirelessly to give all students the best possible learning opportunities and organise events, gigs and radio appearances to showcase what they can do. Perhaps most importantly, the school has a family feel and takes its role in the community very seriously. It is inclusive of all backgrounds and works with children, young people and adults with disabilities. The school has had a huge impact on the community in Eccles and Salford. I can't speak highly enough about the school - you won't find a better place in Salford to learn a musical instrument or take vocal lessons.”

“I wanted to get my 8 year old into something to keep her active and something she enjoys as seen her dancing a lot when watching you tube. Searched on google as you do and came across JD dance and it was the best thing I ever did. The staff are amazing the owner Jenny is wonderful and everyone who is a part of JD dance are so welcoming feel a part of a big family now and would recommend to anyone.”

“The best person to leave your dog with! I can’t say enough good things about Debby and how great she has been at looking after my puppy George. He adores her and loves going to doggy day care with her. I know when I drop him off I don’t have to worry and can set off for work rest assured George is going to have an amazing day and be well looked after. After lockdown I was called back into work with short notice and I tried leaving George on his own for a few days for short periods and when seeing how distressed he was I searched for a doggy day care online. After seeing Debby’s reviews I sent an online enquiry and she called me within a few minutes, offered me to pop over there and then to see her house and meet her and now George goes to her five days a week and I wouldn’t want him anywhere else. She has a great set-up in her home and garden where everything is secure and I feel like it’s another home for George where he is shown love and affections as well as being able to socialise with other dogs. He gets lots of exercise, playtime and food and I get to pick him up at the end of each day super happy and pretty tired which is perfect for me after a long day in work. Debby is always accommodating and I know she will always make decisions based on what is best for all the dogs to make sure they are happy and safe. I know there are larger set ups for doggy day-care but what I love about Debby’s house is it’s George’s second home and he will only ever be around other dogs that have been vetted by Debby to ensure they can play safely. Debby sends regular updates throughout the day of George having lots of fun and he is so desperate to get to hers in the morning he barely eats breakfast! I really couldn’t recommend a better person to look after your dog! Thank you Debby!”

“I lost the keys to my car and I’m really thankful that the company responded to my contact real quick. John was also very kind and really knew what he was doing. 5 stars!”

“Had an issue with a couple of amps for my home. One was clicking and wouldn't turn on, the other made a pop noise with a load of smoke. Booked them in and the amps were fixed within the week. If anything else develops a fault I'll definitely return”

“Great service, fixed within a couple of hours and made a few helpful suggestions on grinder upgrades available. Will use again if I have any issues.”

“We had a fantastic experience with The Silver Sisters. Lovely workshop environment and easy to follow instruction. We were taken through each step thoroughly and it was made very easy for us to trust the process of silver ring making. We were delighted with our finished rings. A fun experience and lifelong momento. Thank you.”

“First time I've been here, and it was incredible. We weren't planning on going here but our original restaurant was closed. The service was great, really friendly team members. The choice of cocktails and ales was fantastic, with alcohol free options. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I had the mushroom and truffle with a blossom spritz. My son wasn't a fan of his margarita, but that's probably because it's not filled with crap! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be returning.”

“Went in to purchase a suit for a black tie wedding unfortunately being on the larger side wasnt anything suitable. Was assisted by a very professional and well mannered highly knowledgeable gentleman by the name of Andy Carroll. Excellent first class service”

“I had my suzuki in for an mot and to fix an annoying squeal. Phil could not do enough for me, he went above and beyond ringing round for the best deal on parts that the car needed to pass its mot. He was genuine about finding me the best price and not having to pay more than what the car is worth. I rang a few weeks later because the squeal was still there, he had another look at it and solved the problem at no extra cost. He's a decent, good honest bloke which is rare to find these days. Thank you for all that you did, I really appreciate it and I will definitely use again.”

“Fantastic garage. Clutch went on my VW Passat, and they organised a tow company and replaced clutch unit quickly. I was impressed by their communication, always keeping me posted before and after the fix, and the car was left exceptionally clean with seat covers and steering wheel covers too. Highly recommended!”

“Went with Dave for a new clutch. Great price and great work. Recommend him all the time now.”

“Fantastic selection of wines, whiskey, gin, Vodka and craft beers. With the added bonus of a selection of cigars and chocolates. So far my favourite wine has been a Pinot Noir from Romania. Staff also know about what they're selling, definitely my favourite place for alcohols.”

“I buy my cigars from Hadfields. It's a fantastic place with a really traditional feel, just like stepping back in time to a golden age. It's one of a kind, and I always look forward to visiting!”

“What a fantastic experience at family owned Totally Wicked Farnworth. As I’m new to vaping I came away with a wealth of information and advice from Chris including hints and tips. It’s refreshing to buy an item whereby the seller has an in-depth, vast knowledge of the product and no ‘hard sell’. I can’t recommend highly enough for a terrific shopping experience.”

“Nazya is brilliant, she helped me every step of the way with my Tier 2 extension. I felt very much taken care of with her, she is very responsive to my questions and worries, and she handled my case efficiently and confidently. I will recommend her to anyone needing immigration advice.”

“This is a genuine thank you—for Maja’s kindness, deep knowledge of immigration routes, and relentless “make it happen” attitude throughout the process. Honestly, even if you don’t meet the official requirements, Maja will find a way to make it happen. We can’t recommend her enough!!! Her caring will genuinely move you to tears. You’ll cry from how kind she is!”

“I came to Howdens - Denton for a selection of interior doors. I was dealt with by Sophie who was very professional and willing to help. She was very knowledgeable in the various products and designs to help us decide which we wanted. We ordered through Sophie and she also promoted some of the DIY products behind the till which we purchased. Our doors are due to arrive today and Sophie has been in contact with us throughout to make sure we are happy with the purchase and that delivery is arranged at a time that suits us. She has also expressed that we are to contact her if we have any problems with the delivery or doors post-delivery so that she can deal with them personally. Thankyou, Sophie!”

“We recently purchased our first home through Belvoir and couldn’t be happier with the service provided throughout. From the point of offer Sue was really helpful and despite my numerous calls and questions she was always happy to answer my queries and offered me the best advice to help secure the property we had set our heart on. We are now two weeks into our new home and loving it! We cannot recommend them highly enough and would like to say a massive thank you to Sue and the team at Belvoir.”
