As part of our commitment to providing the best service for our customers, we conduct an annual customer satisfaction survey. It takes into account the experiences of our customers across all of our odour services. We carry out the survey at the beginning of each year and we are very pleased to now share the results for 2019. 

Our thanks go to everyone who participated. It really does help us to understand how we’re doing from your perspective. By fully assessing what we’re doing well and where we can improve, we can continue to provide a first class service for you. We strive to deliver best practise across all areas of our business. 

While this annual survey is important, we are keen to hear your feedback all year round. If you’d like to let us know how we’re doing, you can do so here. It’s a short survey which takes less than five minutes to complete. Alternatively, please do get in touch with any of the team to share any comments you have.

How We Used Your Feedback

Last year, you told us you’d like to see improvements in two specific areas; our accreditations and our communication. We took notice, and here’s what we’ve done about it. 

Accreditations

You told us that accreditations are important to you, so we’ve listened and acted on it. Here’s how… 

Our Director, Robert Sneath, holds an MCERTS Personal Competency Standard for Manual Stack-Emission Monitoring. James Sneath is also working towards this and should hold the same accreditation within the next few months.

In addition, we are working to secure UKAS-accreditation for on-site sampling and expect to receive confirmation within the next 2-3 weeks.

Not only that, but we’ve also gained a number of new accreditations for our training course. The Odour Study Day is now CPD-certified, endorsed by the IAQM and is accredited by CIWEM. 

Communication

You told us that we don’t talk to you enough! So we’ve worked hard to share more of our technical expertise and news about our team. Here’s what we’ve done…

Our team has contributed to industry publications, such as Envirotec Magazine, Organics Recycling and AD&Bioresources News. 

We’ve been much more active on social media and via our email newsletter, sharing updates about our business, our day to day activities and general industry information. Please follow us on LinkedIn or Twitter, or sign up for our email newsletter to keep up to date. We’ve also started sharing quarterly snapshot videos of our team in action. 

We have made significant changes to our website. Specifically, we’ve made our odour services offering clearer and more accessible, and added testimonials from our customers so you can see for yourself what they think about us. Please do get in touch if you think there’s anything else we can work on. In addition, our communications team have contributed regular blogs containing news about the industry and Silsoe Odours.
