Unicom, Manchester - Telecoms, Broadband, Web Design & NTS

I am delighted to learn that your organisation has recently achieved the Customer Service Excellence standard.

Please pass on my congratulations to everyone involved – to be recognised for this challenging standard is a tribute to your organisation’s customer service culture.

Your achievement demonstrates that you have recognised the importance of developing an in-depth understanding of your customers’ needs. Consultation and customer insight is vitally important if we are to continue to make the improvements we all want to see in public services.

I wish you continued success in the work with which you are engaged.

Gordon Brown
Prime Minister

May I take this opportunity to thank all your staff for their help with our recent move of telephone to a new address. Everyone has been very polite and efficient and they have kept us informed at all times of the progress of the order.

We were given a date and time and the installation was undertaken quickly and efficiently. You have an excellent team of Customer Service, Sales and Engineers. Please pass my regards on to all concerned.

I just wanted to send a quick email to acknowledge the excellent customer service you provide. The reason I came over to you was because BT were so incompetent and I seemed to spend half my life on the phone to them. I am still receiving bills from them for a service that you now provide. I have spend all day today trying to sort this out and the only sensible part has been Unicom.

Once again, I thank you, especially David Allcock who has been very helpful. I will be recommending you to others and will definitely not be going anywhere near a company with British in the title!!

Many thanks

Ms K H
Confectionery Retail, Poole, Dorset

On Thursday 5th Feb I contacted you to get a call divert (customer controlled) activated on the telephone line. However a few technical problems occurred and this took a lot of work your end to get this rectified.

The reason for my email is to commend Unicom on the service and outstanding support offered today (Friday 6th Feb) and especially to James & Laura who kept in touch frequently with updates throughout the day and worked very hard to ensure that things where up & running as quickly as possible. I cannot say enough how superb you have all been today and have shown once again that you lead the way that many telecoms companies can only dream of. A very big thank you.

Mr W M
Taxi Services, Skegness, Lincolnshire

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have just joined your Broadband service. The help and assistance your staff have show was the best. Nothing was to much trouble for them. A great team, the best I have ever dealt with. Congratulations on putting such a group of people together, your success will no doubt continue in the years to come.

Mr. T.B.
Entertainment, Braunton, Devon

I’m not given to contacting people to say what excellent service I get – possibly because I rarely do! However I am making an exception today – I have had a problem with my web connection for some days and contacted you to test the line yesterday. I was dealt with by Leah Woodward – who was proficient and professional – she tested the line and confirmed I had indeed got a fault – Leah arranged for BT to attend which they did this morning and fixed the problem.

Leah must have called me 3-4 times to keep me informed of developments. I am most impressed, your service is exceptional – your expectation these days is to wait on the line for 30 minutes, be passed from pillar to post and to speak to an overseas call centre operative you cannot understand. My experience with your company is the exact reverse – brilliant service. Thank you.

Mr KF
Website Development, Ware, Hertfordshire

I am writing to thank you for the excellent service given recently by Unicom when dealing with a reported fault with our telephone cable.

Firstly, it was wonderful to speak directly to an advisor after only a short ring. This is almost unheard of, in these days of call centres, automated messages, press buttons and just left waiting indefinitely!

We are most impressed and thought you would like to know how pleased we are.

Mrs JS
Building Contractors, Somerset

To whom it may concern

We have over the past year had many problems with BT which has cost us and caused us a lot of problems. I changed to your company as I was impressed with your sales adviser that came to visit us. I have been equally impressed with the service I have received all the way through, and the seamless transfer to your network. I have spoken to various members of staff who have consistently been helpful, happy and courteous. Anything that I have requested has been actioned and I spoke to Jamie Bell today who again gave superb services. Dealing with your company has been like a breath of fresh air in todays very busy world and I would like to congratulate you on what you are doing and hope this is the start of a long business working relationship.

Long may your working principals continue.

Kind regards

Mrs SB
Practice Manager, Health Services, Henfield, West Sussex

We just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a valued member of staff you have in Mr Jonathan Wright. He deserves a medal with putting up with me every single day on the phone to him. He is an absolute star and I feel that he deserves a huge pat on the back to say thanks for his constant help and support. He is a credit to your company, and has certainly put my faith back into the human race. An absolute treasure.

He is a fabulous guy to have as a customer advisor. He is calm, efficient, and thorough, delivers what he sets out to do, keeps in constant touch and is actually a real believable person.

I would also like to thank all of your customer care team, as each time I rang, whoever I spoke to was very helpful and friendly and efficient.

Basically all we want to say is a huge thank you for all your help and support.

Ms M
Motor Trade, Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire

I would like to express my thanks to one of your staff members Mark Scott, I found him to be very helpful and understanding regarding the issues surrounding the installation of a new telephone line...

I feel he helped the Society beyond his duty trying to investigate and solve the problems we were encountering following the installation. I believe Unicom are privileged to have such a dedicated conscientious worker in their employment who believes the customer needs are a priority.

Ms ST
Mencap Society, Bridlington, East Yorkshire

I reported a fault last week and I am writing to let you know how pleased I was with your response and service following previous experiences I have had with BT.

I spoke to a man called ‘Ben’ who was particularly helpful and responsive. He dealt with the fault, pursued it until it was repaired and kept in touch with me to let me know what was happening, he called back when requested. I was very impressed with his manner and response.

Ms DM
Engineering, Lowdham, Nottingham

I would also like to say how refreshing it is to have the phone answered by a human being rather than a machine with automated response options.

Ms AH
Wholesale Suppliers, Bristol, Avon

The itemised phone bill for April has just come through. I just wanted to thank you very very much for this and all your help the other day. This has really sped things up for me and is a great help.

I've worked in Customer Services myself for years and know how difficult it can be to get the simplest of things done. If I hadn't phoned back after my initial request and got through to you, I'd be waiting for ages for the phone bill to be delivered to my home and then even longer for me to post it on.

Thanks to your willingness to help out it's all been sorted for me quick smart. Please pass my message onto your boss, as the help you have given me really is 1st class and I should know trust me!

Mr AH
Birmingham

We recently damaged the telephone cable servicing the above property and others. Having made contact with your offices to report the matter, I want to express thanks to Mandy who handled the reported problem.

It is so rare these days to find someone so pleasant and helpful and she dealt most efficiently with this problem as did the men who repaired the line. I would like to also commend Mandy as a personal asset to your company and if more people (especially in customer service) treated clients respectfully and politely, as Mandy did them I am certain we would all be a lot happier. So, my thanks to your company and Mandy. I trust you will pass my thanks on to her.

Mrs C E

My supplier, Unicom were at all times extremely helpful and during the time I had no supply, they kept me informed on a daily basis, both at my home address and by mobile, of what progress was being made. I have no complaint about this aspect of the issue and was more grateful for their updates. Excellent Response.

Mr CP
Theatre, Holt, Norfolk

Yesterday I experienced a problem on my phone line and today the BT engineer has been and rectified the fault.

I would just like to say the service was good and moreover it is a pleasure to phone you and to be dealt with promptly and professionally and not be in a queue, pressing buttons and then getting an operator from perhaps India which is often very difficult to hear.

Thank you.

Mrs JB
