Customer Service performance
Castle Water’s Customer Service performance during Q1 2019-20 financial year:
- Castle Water has now received more than 2,000 5-star customer reviews on TrustPilot.
- Answered 71,487 calls in the 3 months to 30 June 2019. Average call waiting time of 53 seconds.
- 99.36% of calls had a call-waiting time of less than 5 minutes.
Mystery shopping exercise
Castle Water carried out a “mystery shopping” exercise in March 2019. The aim was to test the call answering times of 10 business water retailers. This exercise found that Castle Water’s call answering was faster than any of the business water retailers who were called.
With the failure of one water retailer, Aquaflow, and Ofwat blocking a second from taking on new customers, it is important that water customers carefully scrutinise their chosen water supplier:
- Do they have sufficient net assets?
- Are they profitable?
- Is their Experian score above 90?
