Customer Satisfaction Survey December 2006

Introduction

The questionnaire was designed to ascertain how a random selection of customers rated our performance. From that information specific areas could be singled out for particular improvement. Ten questions, ranging from booking inspection services to the final account and compliance with health safety and environmental rules, were devised and the customers were asked to rate our performance on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 was totally dissatisfied and 10 was totally satisfied.

136 questionnaires were sent out and 46 were returned representing a response rate of 35%.
