Testimonial:
We are absolutely delighted with our brand new garden office, and we can't wait to move in! When you first embark on choosing a supplier for your little dream retreat, it's hard to decide whether you ought to opt for a shell supplier and then engage with other contractors to do the fitting and finishing work. But the result of our choice and confidence in Jon's bespoke service, provided by him and his family team of Dave and Sophie, is now there for all to see. Setting an example to all, he turned up promptly when he said he would, and he and his team worked hard and skillfully throughout the week or so that was required to convert raw materials into a beautiful finished product. A very satisfying experience, both for us and for Southwicks, as I know Jon was pretty pleased with the result himself! Thanks again, Jim and Wendy, Alton

Latest testimonial received from Gosport, Hampshire for an insulated building..
Latest testimonials:
A very professional job
Unable to carry out the build ourselves due to medical reasons, we noticed Southwicks Garden Offices on the internet. We needed a building different than what was on offer by most other firms, so we approached Jon to design a bespoke log cabin to details we provided. He and his team came up exactly as we wanted for a price that was within our budget.
The build took two weeks to complete and now we have our cabin, looking far better than we had hoped. The quote included base, fully insulated and equipped and ready to move into.
What surprised us initially was that you specialise in kitting your buildings out with complete insulation to walls, ceiling and floor, electrics, heating, fully painted inside and out, double-glazed, all finished off with quality carpeting and guttering. A total solution within the quote. Jon, Dave, and not forgetting Sophie, your rock-steady handed painter, you can be proud of what you have achieved, especially since this was new ground for you all. I will be singing your praises to all of my relatives and friends, indeed to all those who wish to know, for some time to come.
A highly professional job carried out by dedicated professionals - well done and thank you.
Whoops - it would be remiss of me not to thank Rolfe (the cocker spaniel) for entertaining our two shelties over the same period.

'Over half' of UK businesses run from home
More and more people are looking into the possibilities presented by working from home, with recent research showing that people are even looking at running their own companies from home.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that 52 per cent of the UK's small business population and eight per cent of the total workforce run enterprises from their home. This equates to around 2.5 million home business owners around the country.
Head of Direct Line for Business, Jazz Gakhal, commented on the data: “Self-employment has been on the rise for several years and our research now shows that a great number of these people work for themselves from home.”
Direct Line for Business compiled the study, which also showed that men are more than twice as likely as women to start up a company in their home, with around 1.7 million male home business owners and just 818,000 female ones.
The study also found that this style of working had different levels of popularity depending on location. Herefordshire was shown to have the highest percentage of people running a business from home with 27 per cent of its 92,000 total workforce running a home company. This compared to just nine per cent in London, although numbers in the capital were high with 32,800 running home businesses in the Wandsworth borough alone.
Steve Beahan, a partner at law firm Irwin Mitchell, told the Financial Times that people need to be careful that they take in to account all of the legal responsibilities associated with running a business from home, which can sometimes be forgotten. 
Meet Rolfe, the latest apprentice to join the team!
