Very informative and helpful

Very informative and helpful. Saverio could not have helped more answering all my questions and most importantly not pushing for a sale. Would highly recommend Business Stream.

Saverio was very helpful and has rebuilt my trust in the company

Saverio was very helpful and explained that a recent systems change had meant a slight delay to them getting back ot me originally.

Since we connected he's been super helpful and proactive in getting my account set-up and put on to the right contract to reduce my monthly payments.

After a little bit of a frustrating start with Business-Stream, I'm delighted to be recommending their services.

Convoluted procedures. This review is not about staff members

This review is not about staff members, who have all been helpful.
It's about the stupidly convoluted procedures in place that mean I am getting charged an exorbitant amount of money for my water supply.

Great customer service

Great customer service. The person I spoke to was polite, professional and helpful. Went above and beyond, assuring that all my queries were answered to and checking several times if there is anything else she could help with. She then followed up with the email I requested, in a timely manner as well. Could not fault the service today. Thank you!

Anton was extremely helpful when I phoned on 5th August to query an invoice which our village hall had received despite having charity exemption. This turned out to be a clinical error. We then discussed the account, charity exemption and online access. The only downside was the fact that Anton spoke extremely quickly. However, he apologised and spoke more clearly when I pointed this out.

STAR SERVICE


Julie provided an excellent level of customer service throughout my call. She was professional, helpful, understanding, and genuinely committed to resolving my issue.

When the call unexpectedly dropped, Julie took the initiative to call me back and continued assisting me until the matter was fully resolved. She made sure I had all the relevant details and left no part of my query unanswered.

Julie is an absolute gem and a real credit to the customer service team. I cannot thank her enough for the outstanding support she provided. **Well done, Julie — you deserve to be recognised for such exceptional service!**
