Congratulations to Grand American Adventures and its sister company, WYSE Travel Confederation member TrekAmerica, both leading providers of small group and adventure holidays to the USA who have registered ‘exceptional’ customer service levels under the independent Investor in Customers (IIC) assessment process.

The top scores, for which customers rated them most highly, were for ‘Treating Customers Fairly’, ‘Quality Relationship’, ‘Customer Feedback’ and ‘Easy to do Business with’. In fact, throughout the categories, the scores from customers were consistently higher than average.

Richard Hanson, managing director of Grand American Adventures and TrekAmerica, said: “The customer experience is central to what we do, so we wanted to undertake an independent assessment that would give us a real insight on how we’re doing from a customer’s perspective. We are always looking to build on the services we offer, to innovate and grow with our customers. Results such as these allow us to do exactly that.”

IIC is an independent assessment organisation that conducts rigorous benchmarking exercises. These exercises determine the quality of customer service and relationships across a number of dimensions, including how well a company understands its customers, how it meets their needs and how it engenders loyalty. IIC also compares and contrasts the views of staff and senior management to identify how embedded the customer is within the company’s thinking.

Tony Barritt, Director of IIC, commented: “In today’s competitive environment it is no longer good enough just to satisfy customers, you need to delight them. Not just now and again but at every stop on the customer journey. Both Grand American Adventures and TrekAmerica tick all the boxes in providing an exceptional and consistent customer experience.”

Richard Hanson added: “For us, the customer experience begins with their initial enquiry and runs right through to their last moment with us. We are passionate about using our skills and experience to deliver the highest standards across the board, and this endorsement is a great reflection of the hard work of our team.“
