At a recent meeting of thebestofhaverhill, held at the Days Inn, three local businesses were acknowledged for being highly recommended by their customers - and received their certificates from the town's MP Matthew Hancock, who was the guest speaker.

Finishing Touch Interiors is owned by Sarah Gibbs, a talented interior designer with over ten years' experience in designing kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, home staging, space planning and e-decorating.

Sarah’s business operates from within the showroom at Premier Interiors on Homefield Road. She also runs the Finishing Touch Interiors Boutique which offers a range of home wares, accessories, soft furnishings, children’s cookery equipment and gifts, available to buy online or from the showroom.

Sarah’s passion for design and eye for detail have resulted in some very happy clients. Finishing Touch Interiors are recommended for their professionalism, first class design, fantastic products and service with a smile.

Richard Woodwards from Foster Denovo is an independent financial advisor, licensed to advise on all aspects of financial advice.

With many years' experience of offering tailored impartial information on insurances, pensions and investments, the advice that Richard gives his clients is designed to protect their family and aims to secure their financial future.

Richard is recommended by his clients for making a difficult subject easy to understand, inspiring confidence, being reliable, honest, friendly and kind.

After only one month as member of thebestofhaverhill Avant Garde Hair Boutique has received nearly 60 reviews! The salon, which operates from Gurteen’s Yard just off High Street, was opened in 2010 by owner Westley Hellen.

The talented young stylist is keen to express his creativity and enjoys transforming his clients through their haircuts and colours.

Last year Westley undertook Vidal Sassoon training in London and Avant Garde is one of a small number of salons in the country which can sell and use Vidal Sassoon products.

Avant Garde is recommended for friendly service, a lovely atmosphere, great products and a talented, creative stylist who has lots of ideas.

Elaine Carr, owner of thebestofhaverhill said: “All businesses have to be recommended before they are even considered for membership of thebestof, this is to ensure that we only showcase the best businesses in the area.

"I am delighted to recognise these three fantastic businesses. It is clear from their reviews that they are first class at what they do and highly regarded by their clients. There is such a wealth of talent in Haverhill and the surrounding area – I think it’s important that we let people know about it.”
