IT’S time to cast your vote in Dunstable’s great Shop Local customer service awards.
Don’t miss your chance to vote for the business that you think offers the best customer service in Dunstable.
You can also nominate a special employee there – or at another business in the town – for an individual award.
Latest nominations include a hardware store that really does have all the tools it needs to give outstanding customer care.
Customers say well-stocked R&J Hardware, in High Street North, near George Street, Dunstable, is an “Aladdin’s Cave”.
Owner Raj Shah has been nominated for an individual award, too, for his sterling service.
A satisfied shopper wrote: “He always has a smile and has everything you ask for!”
The shop carries a wide range of hardware, gardening and DIY equipment, and also sells bottled gas and coal.
Raj said: “I think every customer counts.
“It doesn’t matter if people come in for something for 5p or £10, they still get the same service. I think that’s what people appreciate.
“They are so used to going to big stores and not getting the service.”
Dunstable Town Council is organising the customer service awards in partnership with the Dunstable Gazette.
The contest categories are:
> Best Customer Service From A Local Business.
> Best Customer Service From A Local Business Employee.
The winning business will receive a full colour, quarter page advert in the Dunstable Gazette, Luton News and Herald&Post as a prize.
And the victorious individual employee will be treated to theatre tickets.
If you nominate the winning business or individual, your name will be entered into a prize draw for theatre tickets, afternoon tea for two at Priory House and a voucher for one hour’s complimentary use of the artificial grass pitch at Creasey Park Community Football Centre.
Nominations aren’t limited just to retail – they can include banks, garages, pubs, restaurants and cafes.
> It’s so easy to vote. Just fill in and return the nomination form in the Dunstable Gazette by post, by April 13, or email your nominations to editorial@lutonnews.co.uk.
