"I just wanted to send a quick note to say how impressed both William & I were at the webinar; Learning to Live in Recovery. It was not the type of presentation we expected to glue us to the screen, but it proceeded to do just that. As we both have ties either directly or indirectly with the subject presented we were genuinely blown away with the transparency, honesty & ability to communicate on a subject that's usually politely danced around instead of openly discussed. Strong shout outs to all the speakers, each in their own way gained us as supporters even though none, I'm sure came looking for that. We'll be attending each and every one held down the road. Well done Charles, not only to you and the REP program but all involved. We will continue to spread the great REP message & stand proud as an Recovery Friendly Company (RFC).

"Nobody can claim perfection and we do not believe a person's past definitively defines who they are. Our philosophy that a strong work ethic, positive attitude, and the desire to learn and grow are the basic qualities necessary to develop someone into becoming a successful member of our team. We have found that Charles Mitchell and the Middlesex Chamber share this ideology. Our partnership with them has, and will continue to be, a positive benefit for all involved.
