Ashford-based Colin Batt Removals has won the Customer Service Award for 2017 from Business Awards Kent.

The award was presented at an awards dinner held at the Ashford International Hotel on Thursday, 30 November 2017.

The competition, supported by the Institute of Directors and Federation of Small Businesses, was open to all small- and medium-sized businesses in Kent. The competition looks for the best businesses in Kent and recognises them for their achievements. The Customer Service Category was particularly tough this year with five companies in the final, rather than the usual four. Colin Batt Removals was also a finalist in the Small Business Category.

Managing Director Simon Batt said, “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.”

Colin Batt Removals has been providing house and piano removals services for nearly 40 years. Former customers include Elton John and the Royal Collection Trust. The company once transported Beethoven’s original piano to cities across Europe during a major European tour.
