Guitar refinishers in or around Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

My friend is looking to get his telecaster stripped back and refinished and i said i would try to help him source someone local to take it to who does excellent work. Does anyone know of/recommend anyone in particular in the area?

Dave Wilson in Acomb is the best refinisher in the area IMO. Good enough to refinish Mark Knopfler's strats

John Gill at JXG in Heaton, and I think Alan Brayson in N Shields does it?
