Pass it on - what your customers really think

Award holders now have the chance to get feedback from their customers, through the healthyliving award comments cards.

Since the launch of the award we have supplied these postcard-sized cards for award holders to display. Customers can fill in their comments and return them to the healthyliving award team by means of a freepost address.

The team uses these comments to follow up any complaints or concerns that customers may have. However, the vast majority of comments we receive are very positive, so we thought it’s only right that we should pass on the praise to where it’s due!

From now on, our administration team will scan the comments cards we receive each quarter, and send them on to the relevant award holder. To maintain customer confidentiality, we will blank out customer names and contact details.

Past comments we have received about various establishments have praised everything from the menu choice to the service, and even the artwork on the walls! Many of them are appreciative of the healthy options on offer. They often make us smile, and we hope they’ll give caterers a boost too.
