Source for PCB's?

Does anyone have recommendations on a way to get PCB's made now that Damien has stopped offering them? I missed out on this final batch.
My skill set is really more towards fitting components in things they don't belong in, not making the components themselves.

I think Damien has the Gerbers available on his Github, so you can just order boards from your favorite PCB manufacturer.

I'm really looking for recommendations for PCB manufacturers, I should have clarified.

Most people seem quite happy with the quality and service they get from the likes of JLPCB or PCBWay.
Professionally, most of my boards were one offs made in house, but the last boards I had done externally were via Eurocircuits. They, amongst others, allow you to upload a KiCad file, rather than having to mess around with individual Gerbers.
The cost from Eurocircuits is several times that of the Chinese board houses, but I was told to spend grant money!
If the boards are likely to sit on the shelf for any length of time, then I'd pay the extra for Gold. It makes them much easier to solder later on.
