Customer Services Team of the Year: Impress Print Services

The customer is king, but Impress wears the crown. Not only has the company, based in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, restructured and appointed a customer-service manager and assurance champion, it has created a comprehensive appraisal system, training for managers and department supervisors and a culture that encourages staff to use emotional intelligence to assess projects.

“Great case studies and the perfect example of a strategic approach to outstanding service,” was the judges’ verdict, who were wowed by results including reduced dependency on low pricing, highest number of client recommendations and record levels of positive client feedback.

“Some great statistics that really augmented a stand-out entry,” said the judges.
