"Shaun Lavin, life coach, mentor and friend. Takes the meaning of a garment to the precise level required for your life's journey. For me over the years, this has gone from the suit to wear when making my first presentation to a top brass meeting to my present need for the suit that speaks to the anchor man role at which others need to convince me that they can go places. Shaun has seen me through two recessions and the boom time in between and one of the life boats I have clung to during that time is Shaun's friendship and quality as an advisor on what you need to wear where when and how in an often unforgiving world. Keep up the good work Shaun"
- Patrick Kennedy, Partner, Halliwells
"I am writing to thank you for your efforts in providing me with a new business suit, which I "christened" last Friday when giving a presentation at an early morning meeting. For many years I have bought suits off the peg, having had problems in the past with made to measure suits which did not fit properly. However, thanks to your measuring skills the "first fit" a couple of days earlier proved to be the final one and no alterations were required. As you are aware, I also always buy three pairs of trousers with each jacket with a view hopefully to maintaining a crisp appearance. My work involves meeting other professionals and on occasion I am called upon to give evidence in Court as an expert witness. I shall be keeping an eye open for others who might appreciate the "Berkley Bowen" treatment!"

What a pity I have only found your company as my need for suits declines with retirement! Should I have further need of a suit, I shall call you again"

"I have no hesitation in recommending Berkley Bowen for anyone who is looking for a new suit and shirts. This was my first experience of 'bespoke tailoring' and was expecting some sort of northern Saville Row - full of self importance and snobbery. This could not have been further from the truth as Jason and his colleagues have been nothing but professional and friendly throughout my dealings with them from the first measurement when I was made to feel comfortable and welcome, right through to having the suit altered after 6 months. They kept me fully informed as to the progress of my order throughout. I spend alot of my time travelling and the suits always stand the test of motorways, airports and Virgin Trains and I have been pleased with the comments I receive from both colleagues and clients as to the quality of the clothes. Coupled with Sky Sports and a handy location I will definately be paying another visit in the future, although Jason's allegiance to United does worry me!"
