Aneesha was the height of professionalism from start to finish and couldn't have been more helpful.

She didn't have all the information to hand but politely asked me to hold then relayed the answer to my question.

As she couldn't deal with all elements immediately, she said she would call me back and she did!

Thank you Aneesha, a pleasure to talk to you this morning

Stefano has outstanding customer service skills 🥇

My first ever contact with Shred-it Customer Services and my point of contact was Stefano who was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and personable. He gave me great confidence that he would resolve setting me up with an account, updating our account with new stakeholders and deleting people off the account who no longer need it. He also escalated changing the service date to another day of the week and kept me updated either via a phone call or emailing until he had a resolution. I am very happy with the service I received from Stefano and Shred-it.

Anita

Anita was very thorough, kept me on hold whilst she got answers. She said she would come back to me once she had a firm decision on whether we could have more allocated time for shredding and she did as she said. Contacted me to give me a full update on what had been agreed.
