Most helpful staff

The Inverness branch staff have always been patient and helpful. I made a mess of activating my onnline e-save issue 3 account, but Kirsty and Lauren on the helpline sorted me out and must be commended for their patience dealing with a man with sausage fingers. Reviewed on: 10th October 2024
