Bunnings Warehouse has taken out the top honour at the inaugural International Customer Service Professionals awards (ISCP), thanks to its delivery on a range of customer service fronts.
Bunnings beat out a number of other major retailers and service providers to scoop the ‘People’s Choice Award’, which was announced on Friday 7 October to mark the end of International Customer Service Week.c

“In an increasingly competitive business environment, Australian consumers expect high levels of customer service, and for their providers to be price competitive.”
Bunnings took out the top award because consumers said their staff are highly knowledgeable and approachable.
