In the heart of Glasgow's West End, the Broomhill Hyndland Parish Church stands as a testament to history and community. This Presbyterian Church, formed from the merger of two congregations in 2017, recently undertook a project of profound significance: the creation of a new War Memorial Board. The original marble plaque, a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made during the World Wars, could not be moved to the new building. Thus, the church sought the expertise of Greenbarnes Ltd. to craft a new memorial that would honour the fallen with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Crafting a Legacy
Greenbarnes Ltd. is renowned for its bespoke honours boards, and the creation of the War Memorial Board for Broomhill Hyndland Parish Church is a shining example of their craftsmanship. Judith Johnston, an elder, parishioner, and volunteer worker at the church, shared her heartfelt appreciation for the efforts of Greenbarnes Ltd. in bringing this project to fruition.
"I wish to thank you for all of your efforts with regard to the design and creation of our Memorial Board," Judith expressed. "This is a project very close to my heart, and I greatly appreciate all you have done to bring it to fruition. The Board is now in position and looks splendid."
A Tribute to the Fallen
The new Memorial Board now stands proudly in the church, displaying the names of thirty men who fell in the 1914-1918 War and nine from the 1939-1945 War. This tribute ensures that their sacrifices are remembered by future generations. The dedication ceremony, held on Sunday, January 19th, was a poignant moment for the congregation, led by the Reverend George Mackay.
Excellence in Service
Judith's colleague, Mat Morton, was instrumental in coordinating the project with Greenbarnes Ltd. "My colleague Mat was in contact with you repeatedly and received excellent support," Judith noted. The dedication to customer service and the quality of the product were evident throughout the process.
When asked what led them to seek out Greenbarnes Ltd., Judith explained, "The need to create a new War Memorial Board arose because it was impossible to remove the original marble plaque from one building to another. We were looking for quality, an aesthetically pleasing design, and clear display of the names."
A Testimonial of Trust
Judith's testimonial speaks volumes about the trust and satisfaction that Greenbarnes Ltd. has earned from its customers. "How would you rate our customer service?" we asked. "Excellent," she replied without hesitation. "How likely are you to recommend Greenbarnes to colleagues?" "Very likely," she affirmed.
A Lasting Impression
The dedication of the new Memorial Board is not just a tribute to the fallen but also a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of Greenbarnes Ltd. Their ability to create a product that meets the highest standards of quality and aesthetics, while providing exceptional customer service, is commendable.
