Greg explained exactly what the team did and how they would help in the future. At all times the team have always been there to receive panicked telephone calls and provide expert advice and to calm people down! On one occasion Ruth Wright and Greg Poole didn’t just step over the line of customer service but took a few steps past and it’s something we’ll always be grateful of.
