“Worked smoothly over the Christmas period with no problems in store. New Delivery and Assembly process by ANC definitely made it run smoother for us and for our customers. ANC’s customer service (both to us and to our end customers) is far superior to what we got through our previous provider. Having an all-in-one delivery and assembly service was much easier to manage than two separate companies.”
