I had five separate fridge breakdowns and obligingly Roger came to my aid on all of them. He always explained in detail how he was diagnosing the issue and what the fix involved. He was happy to give me advice about improving the cooling myself, rather than charging me for things I didn't need. Roger also happily assisted me with my insurance claims (which were all successful in no small way due to his cooperation).

Hi-fliers printed and dropped a batch of 10,000 flyers for me in the inner western suburbs, with my own artwork. Jason kindly arranged this on very short notice without any fuss. The flyers were of a lower quality than I have experienced elsewhere, but on the whole it was far better value than printing and arranging a drop separately. The response was nearly equivalent to that received after an Australia Post, which is about 10 ten times the cost.

I switched to using Vic Farmhouse for my pizza shop stock after being fed up with unprofessional, inflexible treatment by my existing supplier (All Foods Distributors). Bruno and his team went to considerable lengths to meet our needs like giving us free samples and were able to offer competitive pricing. Melissa was a delight to deal with when placing orders.

Ate here on a glowing recommendation from an associate so had very high expectations going in. Despite this, I was still blown away. Swiss-inspired dishes were great, fresh, not too pricey for what it was (relative to Melbourne and Sydney fine-dining, that is). Waited on hand and foot. The quasi-prosciutto entree dish was really good. Stuck for choice when it came to dessert. Alphutte singlehandedly makes me look forward to my next trip to Adelaide.

Mario from Mortgage Achievers helped my business associate, his partner, my partner, my best mate and I with various investment property loans over the past couple of years. Mario is the sort of guy who knows what "going the extra mile" means. He gave sound advice through the buying process which settled our nerves (being first time buyers). He stayed on the line with my girlfriend through her first auction. He went out of his way to make sure we understood what we were getting into.
