Removal firm is delighted at customer service award
Ashford’s Colin Batt Removals, whose customers have included Elton John, has won an award.
The firm, which has moved Beethoven’s piano on a European tour, picked up the customer service award for the Ashford area in the Business Awards Kent.
The firm was also shortlisted for the Small Business Award.
Managing Director Simon Batt said: “The award recognises the outstanding removals and storage services we are provide all our individual and business customers.
“On the night the judges singles us out no only for our dedication to customer service but also for how we translate that into investment in training and staff development.
“This business award mirrors what our customers are saying, our customer feedback is independently verified and more than 99% of our customers would recommend our services. This is a great honour for Colin Batt Removals and one that the whole team are rightly proud of. Customer service is at the core of all we do and relies on every single person doing an outstanding job, from the first telephone call to the delivery of the last box.”

House Moving Excellence
In October we were delighted to find out we had reached the shortlist for not one but two awards. We were finalists for the Customer Service Award and Small Business Award. The Small Business Category recognises businesses that deliver consistent growth and strong financial performance. Five great companies were short-listed in this category but in the end there can be only one winner. Noted In Style were the very deserving winners having grown from a team of one, operating out of their spare bedroom, to a company of thirteen in just five years. Well done Noted In style. However, it was humbling to know that our house removals company has been recognised as achieving excellence in customer service and as an Ashford business overall.
Thanks to all at Kent Business Awards who organised the event and congratulations to all the winners from the 6 awards categories. These were Space Between, who picked up two awards for Creative/Digital and Start-Up. Hospitality/Food and Drink went to Lost Sheep Coffee and Simply Ice Cream impressed the judges in the Innovation category. Well done to all the winners and also all the finalists, they represent the future of great business in Kent.
It is an honour to have received this reward, especially given the calibre of the established businesses that entered the competition and those selected as finalists. A big thank you to the whole removals team, customer service is a team game and this is a team reward. Colin Batt Removals is only successful because of the commitment and hard work of everyone at the Company and this award is testament to that.
Merry Christmas to all from the Award Winning Colin Batt Removals Team. Follow the link if you want to learn more about our removals services.
