National Customer Service Week 4-8 October 2021

National Customer Service Week is a week-long opportunity to raise awareness of customer service and its vital role in successful business practice and the growth of the UK economy.

 

Over the last eighteen months, it has been a challenging time for everybody. March 2020 saw the start of the nationwide lockdown in England in response to the global Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, we have seen many residents suffering immense hardship and, in some cases, extreme isolation. Our colleagues have also felt the impact and have risen to the challenge to support those who have been in most need during these incredibly challenging times.

 

We want to highlight and share some of the great work that our colleagues have done and continue to do:
