“ICS manufactured the seating for the restored St. Mel’s Cathedral. The seating is of a very fine quality and is made in American Oak. It is frequently praised for its comfort by parishioners and for its visual impact by the many visitors who come to St. Mel’s. ICS also manufactured wedding chairs, tables, notice-boards etc. for St. Mel’s. We are very satisfied with all of their work and are happy to recommend them as a high quality enterprise creating excellent products.”
