Hi and welcome to the forum from a fellow Hatter!
I bought the Drennan Series 7 Float and Feeder reels. Good spec and good prices for each reel. Have used them for over a year now and can't complain about either. What sort of fishing are using them for and what venues?

Anything from the Daiwa range mate, you won't go far wrong!

Or for lines from around the 3lb mark up to around 7lb-ish you could always take a look at the Drennan FD3000 and FD4000 reels which come with 3 different capacity spools (and are almost the exact same reels as sold by Greys).
NB: I'm currently using the FD4000 model for both light float fishing and for the feeder and find it Ideal for both.

As Keith says, check out the Greys GFS reels. I'm fairly sure they're identical to the Drennan FD reels.
Angling Direct have a huge discount on the reels at the moment.
The GFS3000 has shallower spools.
The GFS4000 has 'normal' spools.
You can't go wrong for £20-£25.....
