A quick message from Richard Langdale at Kelso Racecourse...
"I felt I should write and congratulate you on completion of our first years arrangement whereby your ambulances cover the National Hunt meetings at Kelso. We have just had a Jockey Club inspection and been granted a Grade A rating which means things couldn’t be improved. Your vehicles and staff have been exemplary. I look forward to working with you for many seasons to come."
