Alfie arrived exactly when requested to meet me, I had arranged a photoshoot in front of the storefront of Waitrose in Chichester as we had won ‘Shop of the month’ in ‘The Grocer Magazine’.

Alfie was very helpful and gave clear and friendly instructions. He then went through the photos with me to check which I preferred before they were sent off to printing.
