We care about the journey we take our customers on, but it’s not our word you should be taking, see what our customers think of the service we provided!
“
We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with BES for over 5 years for all our inspection and insurance requirements. Their professionalism and commitment to service delivery stands out and is embedded at all levels of the business. The BERT system is an easy to use, trouble free method of transacting business and with additional training which was delivered in person this has given our staff a greater understanding of the inspection process and the extent of cover provided by the insurance covers. Our partnership continues to progress with all parts of the group including new opportunities arising from a facility to offer a full range of EV charging installation and servicing for our customers.
