Did you like Scotland ?
I loved my time in Scotland . The Scottish are so friendly , sweet and helpful . APECS products were well received and everyone loved our new Tedee Smart Lock . The atmosphere at the Locksmith School Scotland was fantastic , the banter , and nothing taken too seriously . The weather was surprisingly really nice pure sunshine the whole time I was there , while it rained in England . I will definitely be back to Scotland !
Anything you would like to say ? Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with me on my travels and to everyone who attended the Locksmith Training School Scotland on the Friday . Scotland has quickly stolen my heart ! The scenery is breathtaking and the people couldn ’ t have been nicer . I plan to go on a tour of Ireland next ! Why not ! Anyone who would like to receive a demonstration of what APECS has to offer please get intouch .
