Testimonials
I have valued receiving M & E News always full of useful information to share with churches.
Over many years I have enjoyed perusing Maintenance and Equipment News, especially in the late Gordon Stowell’s wonderful cartoons.
I have found the publication very useful, I’ve used several of the suppliers over the years and one or two have even used my photos in their publicity, John Truscott of course is always worth a read. Many thanks for your help over the years.
I have been looking at your past magazines on the website to look for previous articles. Thank you for getting back to me. I have been on John Truscotts website and I have found the articles I was looking for (along with many others!). Thank you for replying so quickly and getting that sorted. Keep up the good work!
I have enjoyed receiving the MEN magazine by post at Birstall Penn Methodist Circuit. I have now moved to Wharfedale & Aireborough Methodist Circuit and wish to switch to a digital subscription
We recommend ‘Maintenance & Equipment News’ to all our parishes. It is an extremely informative and useful publication.
Thanks for a very useful publication!
Thank you for the winner’s cheque. I appreciate this very much. I always enjoy tackling the crosswords as they are quite challenging and informative.
I just wanted to let you know how excellent your online publication is!
Yesterday I attended a day conference at Westminster Central Hall and at one of the breakout sessions a delegate from the north mentioned my articles re hymns and commended M&EN to the group – I introduced myself to him during a coffee break.
