James Squire-Wood, manager of Handymen UK, pens a thank you letter to Penarth after a strange week.

His company has been accused of gender discrimination, featured in the national press, and ultimately been awarded the £1,000 grant they requested.

A strange week indeed.

We are truly overwhelmed by the support shown in ensuring that Handymen got the grant we deserved during these difficult times.

We're extremely grateful and appreciative towards how the local community can unite and stand for what is right.

We also respect the council, who reached out to us prior to making the final decision to clarify their uncertainties.

We are still operating in line with government guidelines, so if your property does need any form of maintenance...feel free to contact us on 02920704060!
