    23\/09\/12 I am writing to you to express the society’s sincere gratitude for an extremely interesting and unusual visit to your company last Wednesday.\u00a0 Your company is amongst the many small British firms who go about their business quietly and efficiently, earning much needed finance, but virtually unknown to the British public who however probably see your products and services every day e.g.\u00a0Supermarkets and Town Hall Clocks.\u00a0 Once again many thanks for a most enjoyable visit.<\/p>\n
