Referral fees

What is a referral fee?

A referral fee is any commission, payment, fee or other reward we receive from other companies in return for introducing their services to you. We believe you should know how much we or a member of our staff stands to receive each time we make an introduction and whether these companies are connected to us. This way, you can make an informed decision whether to use them or a company of your own choice. Please note, we will only refer a company who we feel is suitable for the job and has done well in previous transactions.
