Utterly professional and charming with an outstanding focus on customer care
I would just like to give some feedback on the move carried out by your guys yesterday. The Team (John, Ian and Rob) were utterly professional and charming with an outstanding focus on customer care. The team were patient, efficient and made a stressful occasion so much easier from our point of view. These must be amongst your most valued personnel.
I thanked them personally but would like to register our satisfaction officially. In my role as a Management Consultant, travelling for many years and working for leading names in business across the globe, I have rarely experienced this quality of customer service in over 25 years of running a business.
Could I also record my personal gratitude to you in your management of our case and in your admirable administrative skills, patience and efficiency.
We will certainly use you again when we have internal changes as we replace furniture etc.
Thank you once again for all your help. We will be in touch when we need to access the furniture and other valuables you are storing for us.
Colin DarbyFriendly & went above and beyond to help me
My mum & dad used your company 40 years ago and have always raved about you compared to others. I couldn’t praise Ant, Clive & Rob more, they were outstanding, really efficient, friendly & went above and beyond to help me - truly A*.
Hannah MurphyReally thorough
Worked damned hard all day. You need to give them electric screwdrivers though. Really thorough. The garage had been power washed and was wet. They placed anything that would be damaged on plastic boxes to get them off the floor.
Craig WoodsThe crew were fantastic
The crew were fantastic, I can’t rate them highly enough. Polite, happy, friendly, careful, courteous & very hard working. Used the company for its Google search & good reviews. Very helpful, friendly yet professional.
