Customer Service Hat Trick
We moved a step closer to our goal
of achieving Customer Service Excellence accreditation across the whole
council on 27 March, when Economic and Cultural Services joined Landlord
Services and Customer Service as holders of the new standard. At the feedback session, the assessor commented on several aspects of the service which had impressed him; the sense of clarity across the division in understanding customers' needs, the tailored approach to dealing with the many different types of customers, the culture of quality and the overall passion staff demonstrated for the services they provide.
97% would recommend Winchester to a friend!

Customers were asked questions about shops, eateries and their overall city centre experience which gave outstanding results.
