What It’s Like Working With Me

  • Very good experience. Barrie works hard on our account and is always responsive to any requests or explanations I might need. Happy to recommend.

  • FoundUB4 is a small intimate business but you get that personal service that you certainly don't get with a bigger company who have the 'you're just another client' attitude. Barrie has evidenced time and time again that nothing is too much trouble, he has a daily personal goal to grow my sales and company profile and his hard work and dedication is certainly paying off.

In short, value for money and an easy all round good guy to get on with.
