Adam Richards Architects.
website"I just wanted to thank you for the training day at our offices a couple of weeks ago. It was really useful, and I have been trying to correct my bad habits. I've set up new templates for our office (without 'snap to grid'!), and I've been exploring some of the tools that I had previously avoided.
Thank you for your time and expertise".

I am certain that we will need another session and once I am more familiar with the system I will give you a ring to arrange a date".
