I made an enquiry to see if I am eligible to be a customer, and I received a prompt response which asked for some details, followed quickly by a phone call to take it further. Louise Taylor was my contact and she was excellent. Very helpful, friendly, professional, a joy to be treated in such a pleasant way. Reviewed on: 24th June 2025
