Dear Sirs,

RE: Letter of Commendation/Reference for Hobson & Porter Limited.

Selby District Council can confirm that Hobson & Porter Limited have worked for
Selby on several major projects over the last few years.

They are currently one of our two contracting partners for our major Decent Homes
projects. Their performance has always been excellent with works completed ahead
of programme on the last two phases. The quality of the completed works is always
of a high standard with very few defects and any issues that are raised are dealt with
promptly and without delay.

I therefore have not hesitation in recommending the employment/appointment of

Hobson & Porter for such works.

Yours faithfully

Brian Richardson
Principal Maintenance Manager

Selby District Council
