Absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend this company highly enough.This was the first time I had used DRA and I was so impressed with the service our company received. The testing itself was completed quickly, efficiently and most importantly thoroughly, despite having 40 staff in on the day. The whole process was made so easy. The report and certification came through just a couple of days later. I will without doubt be using DRA next year for our PAT testing.
