"Of" vs "From" in this context

I am confused about the usage of "from" in the sentence below,

I am writing to express to you my thanks for referring our services to Mr [CLIENT_NAME] from [CLIENT_COMPANY]

With "from" it would be,

I am writing to express to you my thanks for referring our services to Mr John Doe from Philips UK Ltd.

And with "of" it would be,

I am writing to express to you my thanks for referring our services to Mr John Doe of Philips UK Ltd.

So which is correct? "Of" or "from"?

If I have made any other mistake please correct me, I am here to learn.

of is more standard, but from is (I think) more commonly said. I am writing to express to you my thanks for recommending our services to Mr John Doe of Philips UK Ltd. I would say recommending , not referring.
