I retired I worked as a town planner and I was sometimes asked to recommend an
architect. This was something I couldn't do professionally - but I
could provide a short list of architects with experience of the kind of work
involved, for example repairs to a listed building or a brand new
industrial unit. The local branch of the RIBA published a leaflet
listing its members in the area, which was very useful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=296040313-19022014><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
same principle ought to apply with Diocesan Bell Advisers. If I write a
letter on behalf of the Blackburn DAC giving advice on bells and suggest that
the church obtains and estimate for rehanging or similar work, I include a list
of bellhangers with their contact details. There are no bellhangers
based in north west England so I believe it is particularly important to
encourage churches to obtain appropriate professional advice, rather
than rely on a general builder or metalworker who fancies having a go
at bellhanging. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If I know that a couple of firms are already
doing work in the area I sometimes mention this as it may speed up the
process. But bell advisers should not be seen as favouring any one
particular firm. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hello, just a quick one...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have always been on the understanding that DAC bells advisors must be
impartial when it comes to recommending contractors to a potential
customer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If they are not, what can be done about it?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
