“Sometimes you use a product or service that is so good, you just have to tell other people about it. That’s how the management team at Reflex feels about the service we received from John Heaphy and his team. Personally, I was always impressed by how quickly an enquiry was responded to, sometimes in minutes, never more than an hour. Of equal importance to all of the above is the fact the team is a great bunch of professionals who are fun to deal with; not something that can be usually said.”

(Ian Kendall, Managing Director, Reflex Labels Limited)
