Really easy to order filled bag and collected on date I asked for great service

Great family owned company - professional, efficient and courteous with great customer service!
I've never contacted a shredding company before but picked this one as you could compute the cost yourself via their interactive website which I liked (rather than having to ring up and find it's ultra expensive or something and awkwardly trying to end the call). The pricing structure was clear and very reasonable for a small business like mine. The fact that it is a family firm was definitely a bonus. I wasn't disappointed - everyone from the lad that personally dropped off the shredding bags, to Elisha in the office who organised it all, to the lad who collected the bags have been totally professional, courteous and efficient with second to none customer service! A credit to their firm and I got an official certificate of destruction emailed over to me the day after the secure shredding bags were taken away so I know that I have fulfilled my legal obligations in that respect too. I am definitely going to use this firm again myself and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others too as I have already done.

Will use them again
A couple of issues at the order stage with the website but otherwise great. I had a couple of questions which they answered quickly. Ordered some extra sacks which they dealt with quickly. Picked up and destroyed and certificate provided. Will use them again.

Great efficient service and very easy end to end process. Ordered 10 pre-paid shredding bags which was delivered quickly, and once filled, I was able to select my chosen collection date. I received my destruction certificate within 24 hours of collection. Will use again.

Confidential waste
I arranged to have some confidential waste sacks delivered and collected - 45 in total. The process was easy, Elisha dealt with my order efficiently and quickly. The sacks were delivered to one address and collected from another. No issues and everything completed as required. Would recommend most highly
