Dear Joy,
Just a short note to say a big thank you for all your assistance over
the last few years. The service you have provided has been really prompt
and efficient, the cost extremely reasonable and the ‘door to door’ service
has been a great benefit.
We have no hesitation in recommending your company and we look forward
to continuing to do business with you in the future.
Once again many thanks for the approachable, pleasant and unbeatable
service we receive.
Ivanhoe College,
Leicestershire LE65
Hello Joy,
Thank you for your recent letter. Yes – the fact that you haven’t
heard from me certainly means that since you serviced the sewing
machines, they have worked fine. Thank you.
It is nice to hear from you, intermittently, just to remind me that
you are there if needed, I out of courtesy – do recognise and
appreciate this.
I shall be in touch regarding a further service of machines in the
near future.
Walthamstow School
for Girls, London E17
Dear Joy,
Thank you for the excellent service you provided in repairing and
servicing our sewing machines.
They were collected and returned promptly and the work was carried
out to very high standard.
We will not hesitate to use you again and would confidently recommend
you to others.
Kingsbury School,
Staffordshire B78
Dear Joy,
Thank you so much for all the attention you have given us over
the last few years. It makes a big difference to our organisation
to know
that
you are at hand to repair our machines. The work done has always
been to a very high standard and the machines quickly returned
to us, so
that any inconvenience to our students is kept to a minimum.
It also makes
my life much easier.
Nower Hill High
School, Middlesex HA5
Dear Joy,
Thank you for your letter and I would like to say all the machines
at present are working satisfactorily. The efficiency of
collection and
return of the machines was excellent. We are also pleased
with the labelling and numbering of each machine.
Chellaston School,
Derbyshire

To Whom It May Concern
Joy Williams has been servicing and maintaining our sewing
machines for the past years. She provided a thoroughly
reliable service.
Joy can be
contacted easily, and always responds to messages, if
she is not available to deal with telephone calls directly.
Joy comes to the school and collects sewing machines,
and returns them in a superb state.
I have not, in twenty years of teaching, found such a
reliable service before, and it has made life running
a textile department
in a large
comprehensive school much easier. Our machines have never
been in such a good state of repair.
Joy is very pleasant and thoroughly professional person
and she has built up an excellent reputation in the service
that
she
offers.
I have no hesitation in recommending Joys Sewing Machine
Service, to anyone.
Beaumont School,
Hertfordshire AL4
Dear Joy,
This is just a short note to thank you for the excellent
service you have recently provided our school.
We have been so impressed with the very efficient,
courteous, friendly, technically sound servicing
of nine machines
(many of which had
seen happier days!). You really have made life so
much easier for the staff
and students of our school.
We will be recommending your services to many other
schools in our area and look forward to dealing with
your company
in the
future.
Cadbury College,
Birmingham B38
Dear Joy,
Just a note to say Thanks for providing such a
service. It’s such
a relief to have the machines picked up and delivered back to college.
Also it’s great to finally have someone
mending the machines that actually knows what
they are doing!
Sorry our machines are so mucky, they get such
a hammering, always covered in paint and wax but
I
like the way they
come back clean!
Ursuline Convent High School, London SW20
Dear Joy,
Thank you very much for the excellent service you and your engineers
provided. It is certainly first class. Your meticulous testing and electrical
testing/servicing was very reassuring. It really was a complete service.
I had telephoned your office to pass on my comments and am now very pleased
to write confirming them and will certainly recommend your company to
others.
Barr Beacon School,
West Midlands WS9
Dear Joy,
I would like to thank you for the excellent service which you have
given us during that last two years. Not only have you serviced and
cleaned
our machines to an excellent standard but have also provided the
minimum disruption to our school in collecting and returning the
machines at
a time to suit us. We also find it very reassuring to have a friendly
voice on the other end of the telephone.
We look forward to dealing with you in future.
Brentwood County
High School, Essex CM14
Dear Joy,
I am so pleased I took the time to read your brochure several
months ago! Since then the department has benefited from your
excellent
advice and expertise. We have had several machines serviced to
an exceptionally
high standard and returned to us in pristine condition. If only
you did the same with cookers! We have also purchased new machines
at
very reasonable
prices.
Thank you for the quality service. Long may it continue!
Kings
Norton High School, Birmingham B38
Dear Joy,
Thank you for the return of our sewing machines. I was very
impressed with the professional way in which all the service
details
were documented. The machines are in very good working order
now – despite
their age (some of them).
Thank you again – we’ll definitely be using you
again.
Queenswood, Hertfordshire
AL9
Dear Joy,
Thank you for the prompt and excellent work you did on our
six sewing machines and for the friendly and personal
way in which
the business
was conducted.
I am not a textiles teacher and inherited these machines
with misgivings born of my own ignorance. Your servicing
and repairs
have restored
my confidence.
I look forward to receiving your quotation for the remaining
twelve machines.
Nether Stowe School, Staffordshire WS13
Dear Joy,
I am writing this letter as an acknowledgement of appreciation to you
for the efficient and professional way that you have dealt with our 13
sewing machines over the past years.
It has been a relief to have discovered that the machines could be repaired
and still put into use, considering the age of some of them! We like,
particularly, the security of knowing you can be contacted so easily
in between normal service times, whenever there is a problem, so that
we are not left short of machines for class use. It is also a very good
system which you have, for clearly setting out the service history in
writing for each machine, enabling a full record to be kept.
I look forward to the possibility of being able to continue our good
working relationship over the coming years.
Maryhill High School,
Stoke-on-Trent
Dear Joy,
Thank you for all your hard work on the sewing machines that I sent
you. I joined Maryhill High School three years ago and wanted to
develop the
textiles.
I had 20 very old Bernina’s, after a couple of years I had £500.00
to get some new sewing machines. After phoning around I decided to get
the old ones repaired. Once repaired I couldn’t believe what they
were like, they were like new! I have now got 9 very good machines. The
pupils will really enjoy textiles now, thank you again.
Park View School,
Birmingham B8
Dear Joy,
This year the servicing and repair of the overlocker and sewing machines
at Park View School was carried out by Joy’s Sewing Machine.
We were extremely pleased at the efficient and very convenient service
offered. All the machines returned in superb condition and all repairs
were very thorough. Replacement parts were supplied and a full breakdown
of costs supplied. In addition we now have a record of each machine’s
service history, which is helpful when the machines are due for their
6 monthly service.
All the servicing and repairs were carried out at our convenience
during our half-term holidays, a bonus for a busy Textiles department!
Whitford
Hall & Dodderhill School, Worcestershire WR9
Dear Joy,
Many thanks for returning the sewing machines, they did arrive
in time and year 10 continued with their GCSE practical as planned!
I had to smile when I saw your repair/service schedule – I have
never thought of bobbins – they live in a box on my desk and many
of the girls have their own, so there never is one in a machine unless
it is in use!
Many thanks for your super efficient service again – as before
the machines run as new, even the aged ones have a new lease of life
and not only do they perform well, they look and sound good too. Again
many thanks, not only for your service to schools but your friendly and
personal touch and your response in an emergency when my overlocker broke
in the middle of creating costumes for the school play!
What would we do without “Joy’s”.
Saint
Martin’s
School for Girls, West Midlands B91
Dear Joy,
Just to say a big ‘thank-you’ for all your work in servicing
our school sewing machines and overlockers: they are for the
first time since new, working beautifully.
The expertise your business offers is not only speedy and friendly,
but also knowledgeable, efficient and value for money.
I will be calling on you next year and will recommend you to
my colleagues in other schools.
Madeley High School,

our timetable.
Alexandra High School
and Sixth form College, Dudley
DY4
Dear Joy,
I am writing to thank you for the professional and efficient
service that you have provided when servicing our sewing
machines.
We generally have at least 50 pupils using our machines
daily for intensive free machine work. It is therefore
very important,
when
teaching GCSE
and ‘A’ Level textiles, to have a reliable machine
repair service.
We would also like to thank you for servicing the machines
during the holidays so we are not without them.
James
Brindley High School,
Stoke-on-Trent
ST6
Dear Joy,
I am writing to say thank you for servicing our sewing
machines. Your service was prompt and efficient.
Our machines were returned to us after a weekend service
in excellent condition. The machines had been cleaned,
serviced
and repaired
to an extremely
high standard.
A clear full report which detailed all the work that
had been carried out was also included.
We are now working towards a rota system whereby we
have 3 to 4 machines serviced each year and I look
forward
to dealing with
you again!
Bartley Green School, Birmingham B32

Speke
Community School, Liverpool L24
Dear Joy,
What a task for you to undertake! Having decided after many
years to re-introduce textiles into the curriculum, and rescued
various
bits of
our eight sewing machines from under piles of long-forgotten
paperwork in storerooms, I thought you would be daunted by
the task of putting
everything back in order. Not a bit of it! The service was
brilliant - machines picked up and delivered on time, and all
repaired
to a high standard. Contact over the telephone was always friendly
and
efficient,
leaving you with the feeling that as a customer you WERE important.
Thanks for setting us on the way again Joy. We would certainly
recommend your service to any schools. By the way, what are
you like at repairing
lathes and milling machine!!
Stockland Green

and for the personal attention and time given in showing
me how
to
use it.
I look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Wilmslow
High School,
Cheshire SK9
Dear Joy,
Thank you very much for the help and advice concerning
the purchase of our new sewing machines from
you. I have been
very impressed
with the
professional service and the thought put in to
the organisation and management of the machines.
We have
not only purchased
the machines
but also adopted
a very user friendly system to ensure the machines
are cared for and run accordingly; the coding
of the spool
cases etc.
is a good
idea. The
students have been very impressed with how easy
they are to use.
Thank you again and I would certainly recommend
your services to other schools.

The

Dear Joy,
We have started using the sewing
machines which you serviced during
the summer
holidays.
We are delighted, as usual, with
their performance. Despite the
fact that
the machines are “getting on” you
have improved their performance
no end.
Wodensborough Community
Technology
College,
WS10
Dear Joy,
Thank you for all the work
you have completed for
me. Now I
can keep
track of all
the machines, as
the numbers
are
recorded
against
pupil’s
names and issued out
at the beginning of each
lesson. They have also
accepted responsibility
for putting
each item away
tidily.
The machines that you reconditioned
are a great help as these
act as a standby
for the class.
I hope we can continue to
do business together, and
will contact you
in the near future
for the servicing
of the
machines.

We will use your
Company in the
future.
Thank you again.
Axton Chase School, Kent DA3
Dear Joy,
I’m so sorry that I have not had time to reply, we’re right
in the middle of exams. You will be pleased to hear the machines are
running like a dream. The numbers you attached to each machine have
been great, as it meant each student used one machine and had responsibility
for it from start to end.
‘
A’ Levels started today and am sure the machines will do us proud.
Thank you for a speedy and efficient service.
Portland School,
Nottinghamshire S80
To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to commend Joy’s Sewing Machine Services.

Abbot Beyne School,
Staffordshire DE15
Dear Joy,
I should like to thank you for the very reliable and
prompt service which you have given us over the last
few years since
your company
took over
the service of our sewing machines.
The quality and speed of service are very important
when the machines are in use every day and take the
wear and
tear which only schools
can give them.
The machines have never looked better despite their
age and have been given a new lease of life.
I have recommended you to a number of schools and
to all the members of my night school class and I
will continue
to do so. I wish you
every success.

Woodway
Park
School and
Community College,
Coventry
CV2
To Whom It May Concern,
For the last few years’ Woodway Park School Technology Department
has used Joy’s Sewing Machine Services.
The service we receive is of exceptional
standard, and very competitive
rates,
with machines
collected, when it is convenient to the
school, and then returned, usually over
a weekend.
Machines are not only serviced to a high
standard but, are cleaned inside and outside
and are
returned, sealed
in polythene
bags
looking “like
new”. The cost of service is dependent
on the condition of each machine when serviced,
and
a fully
itemised account
of all
work that
has been carried out, is then provided
with the returned machines.
I have used a number of different servicing
agencies in my time as Technology co-ordinator.
I have
yet to meet
a service
which
matches
that, that,
we currently receive through Joy’s
Sewing Machine Services, and have no hesitation
in
recommending this
service to any
interested party.
John Taylor
High School, Staffordshire DE13
To Whom It May Concern,
Joy’s Sewing Machine Services have been used by our art and
textile department over two summer
holidays. On the first occasion many of
our machines were past repair and
were only useful for parts. Joy returned fifteen machines to us in
perfect working
order
and
we were
delighted
with the result. We will regularly
send machines
on an annual basis as
she gives a reliable and friendly
service
which suits our needs perfectly.
