As 'older' members of this group will know, I have had work done by
Brian Caddy, I think I was one his first 'private' clients after he left
the company for which he had worked for many years. He re-ground and
rebuilt an Elliott mill for me and I now consider it better than new. He
was willing to travel to collect machines and I would have no hesitation in
recommending him to anybody.
