Richard Ball – National Express Group PLC
“I would like to thank the Statham’s team yet again – this time for your help in getting our vehicle to Swindon for the recent filming with the television crew.

Stuart Skingsley – Ocado Hatfield
“I first met John and Samantha Statham in May 2013 and was impressed by their commitment to customer care. As business owners, they fully appreciate the cost of vehicle down-time to their clients. Our fleet is well maintained and we don’t have that many break-downs, but when we do Statham’s are our preferred supplier for […]
Sean Buttle – Buttle Plc, St Albans
