From The BlueSky Team
When you buy something online from eBay or Amazon, use an online help desk or even when you get your car serviced, you will, more likely than not, be sent a questionnaire asking you to rate your experience.
I never tire of these questionnaires because, after years of evaluating customer/ client satisfaction surveys, I am always pleased to see a company that understands the value of feedback on its service delivery and performance.

The Challenge
Having recognised there is a lack of females in the construction supplies and merchants industry, Foyne Jones wanted to look at ways of addressing the issue and attracting [...]
