Testimonials
Thank you Steve and the team at Kemps
We have been dealing with Steve, the late Reg and the team at KRE for over 30 years. As always the service and communication has been excellent. Our last sale was particularly fickle and I strongly believe that Steve’s patience and perseverance got us over the line in the end. A fantastic job once again.
