“We think we have achieved much of what we set out to do, and have focused very sharply on customer care: if there is a glitch, we have a great team to get things sorted as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

“This ITSPA award is the icing on our 10-year birthday cake – and it could not have been achieved without the excellent workforce that Gradwell has at its – and its customers’ – right hand.”
