To be honest I always knew it would happen. I knew that the Huddersfield office would open. What I really couldn’t be sure of was whether the Customer Street Huddersfield office would open on time!
The main cause for concern was the extremely tight deadline. We needed to get a leased line installed for our data. NTL won the business on the promise that they would deliver on time. Despite delays in site surveys, the need to dig up 75 meters of path and problems getting into the building they delivered on time. Congratulations to the team at NTL Virgin Media from everyone here at Customer Street, we wouldn’t be open without you!
On the whole all of our contractors and suppliers have been extremely professional and helpful. If you are looking for suppliers for your business you should try using one of our excellent directories; UFindUs, Smile Local or More UK failing that just use a search engine and you will find us all over the search results.
It’s been a very busy year here at Customer Street. New product launches, major system changes and continuous improvement mean it is never a good time to go away. Last week I managed to get the week off to see family before Christmas.
Our directories have all been busy in the run up to the festivities with people searching for lots of different services and products in their local area. As we list every UK business on our directories we know that businesses get found through our products. The businesses that have the edge are the one with enhanced listings. I recently heard from our sales people a customer who had signed with us was already getting business in a competitive area just from their directory listing. We also build our customers a basic web site if they want one.
The year for me is finishing on a high note as I am project managing the opening of our new sales office in Huddersfield. We are just getting everything fitted out ready to open in mid January, creating up to 50 new jobs for Huddersfield. This new office will provide excellent facilities for our sales people.
