Earth Cycle receives Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award 2021

Feefo Platinum Trusted Customer Service Award 2021

Earth Cycle has won the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service award, an independent seal of excellence that recognises businesses for delivering exceptional experiences, as rated by real customers.
Created by Feefo, Trusted Service is awarded only to businesses that use Feefo to collect genuine reviews and insights. Businesses meeting the high standard, based on the number of reviews they have collected and their average rating, receive the award. A highly-valued badge of approval, this accreditation remains unique, as it is based purely on the interactions with real customers. As all reviews are verified as genuine, the accreditation is a true reflection of a business’s commitment to outstanding service. Feefo gives Platinum Trusted Service awards to businesses that have achieved the Feefo Gold standard for three consecutive years or more. The Feefo Gold Trusted Service award recognises organisations that have collected at least 50 Feefo reviews in a year and have achieved a service rating of at least 4.5.
Nick Martin, Marketing Manager at The Woodhorn Group commented “We’re very excited to receive this award from Feefo because it’s based on the feedback of real customers, who are the most important judges of all. It recognises how hard we work to give all our customers the best possible experience, even in a year as tough as 2020. Everyone at Earth Cycle is fully committed to the highest quality of service, so it’s important for us to listen, understand and respond to all our customers. The beauty of Feefo is that it enables us to consistently improve, so we’re looking forward to another successful year.”
The Earth Cycle brand of peat-free composts and topsoils are sold primarily online, and to be recognised for the award after a year which saw a huge surge in demand for gardening products due to the first national lockdown creating a wave of new gardeners ordering online, makes this an especially satisfying award for everyone at Woodhorn involved in the processing, manufacturing, and sending out of these orders at a difficult time where we had to adapt quickly. It is recognition of how everyone in the company worked together as a team to meet the expectations of our customers.
Feefo is a reviews and customer insights technology company that provides businesses with the tools to collect real, purchase-verified reviews and insights. Working with over 3,500 clients, Feefo ensures that all feedback is authentic, by matching it to a legitimate transaction, in order to increase consumer confidence and enable businesses to make smarter business decisions.

COVID-19: England Lockdown – January 2021

Topsoil Production at The Woodhorn Group

 

As with previous government lockdowns in England, we would like to reassure everyone that our sites in Tangmere, Runcton, and Hayling Island are permitted to continue to operate as usual during the new lockdown now in force across England. The Woodhorn Group will remain open for the disposal of green waste and collection of topsoil and compost during this period.

We have a number of contingencies that have been in place throughout the pandemic to help protect our customers from any impact to the service we provide and to protect everyone from any additional risk of contracting the virus whilst visiting our sites.

Facemasks must be worn when entering the weighbridge office and hand sanitisers are positioned at our weighbridges at Tangmere, Runcton and Hayling Island composting sites to encourage strong hygiene regimes while on site. Please can all drivers and visitors to our sites observe the hygiene requirements and use the hand sanitiser prior to entering the weighbridge. If this represents any concerns then please get in contact.

Our staff have all been issued with clear guidance on how to assess and minimise the risk posed by Covid-19. We have robust contingencies in place to ensure any impact of Covid-19 is minimised on site and that our disposal and processing services continue unhindered.

We will endeavour to provide our usual high level of service throughout this latest lockdown in England. If you have any queries regarding the contingencies please do not hesitate to contact us.

In addition we have robust contingencies in place with our suppliers of products, predominantly Europe based, and are well stocked to handle any potential gap in the supply chain.

We send all of our customers and suppliers our gratitude and best wishes during these testing times.

If you have questions please feel free to call us on 01243 781730 or email info@woodhorngroup.co.uk
