Re-entering the job market after 25 years of solid employment, my CV definitely needed a re-write and new layout. Leanne was professional, personable, prompt and exceptionally helpful, and I'm very happy with the end product.

This medical practice has a great selection of doctors and associated services. They also have a women's clinic which is terrific. Super nice staff and high quality doctors. Good opening hours and they will even do home visits - rare in this day and age.

Sensational Italian food, professional waiters, great service, small intimate restaurant - what more could you ask for,

All the people who work at Endota are great. The BEST massage therapist is Bridget - I almost hesitate to give her name as she only works 1 day per week and is very hard to get an appointment with. Endota also provide sensational facials, manicures and pedicures

Pat Gleeson does all the electrical work for Firbank Grammar in Brighton and most of his customer base is in Brighton. He responds promptly, on time, with courtesy and gets the job done at a good price.

The staff at Cooinda reliable and caring. They will look after your cat(s) exactly as you would yourself. They'll also get cuddles, heaters, large-sized indoor rooms, scratching posts, baskets, and outdoor runs. I wouldn't leave my cat anywhere else.

The trainers at Gallaghers are exceptional. Additionally there is a massage therapist who works out of their studio who is fantastic. His name is Andrew Webber and his contacts are m: 0416 116 563 or e: [email protected]

Service is 'iffy' at The Pantry. A lot of their staff are school aged students who although friendly, are definitely not 'professional' waiters, and it is often hard to get their attention when you want another coffee.

Food for dinner is excellent quality but the menu doesn't change so if you wanted to dine there regularly, your only option would be the daily specials.

I have dealt with Eva at Articall since they opened. She has great taste when it comes to framing. Attention to detail is excellent, and she is an extremely pleasant woman to deal with. She has recently introduced art classes as well
