What is Customer Service at Warners?
At Warners, the words Customer Service are not just a tag line dreamed up by our sales team. The highest levels of professionalism and service are ingrained in what we do every day. Our customers are not simply case files, we appreciate that each organisation we work with is as unique and varied as the industries in which they operate.
Don’t just take our word for it, though. From a customer survey with over 200 responses, we scored 9.4/10 for overall service and 4.9/5 for our account manager service.
This is why.
The Warners Customer Service Team
We are proud to have such a strong customer service team at Warners. Multiple departments work together seamlessly to provide the best possible experience for our customers. Combining years of experience with excellent internal communication and processes, we go above and beyond for each job we produce.
Account Managers
Our renowned account management team is at the heart of the customer experience. Every customer is at the service of their own full-time Key Account Manager. The Account Manager (KAM) serves as the primary point of contact in a convenient and approachable manner. Our processes are tried, tested and continually reviewed to ensure the highest standards.
Whenever a customer needs to reach out for whatever reason, they have a direct, immediate and unobstructed line of communication.
Working closely together, your KAM will build a unique and in-depth knowledge of your organisation and your work. All Account Managers specialise in their role and this role is their primary function, thus providing the best possible level of service. However, you prefer to communicate with us, whether over the phone, email, virtually or in person, your Key Account Manager will gladly accommodate.
Each account manager has extensive experience in their role, built up over many years, but in addition to this, they have all also previously worked in other areas in the business, and this experience provides them with a huge depth of specialist knowledge to benefit our customers.
When your account manager is on holiday, they have a designated “buddy” account manager who works with them daily to cover for them. This way, our customers benefit from strong, continuous relationships with the account managers who learn the individual requirements of each of their customers.
Whenever you are in doubt, contact your KAM as you have a direct line when you need help.
Admin Team
Supporting the KAM team is our admin team. The team fulfils specialist roles in the business, including estimating and order preparation. Working closely with the KAMs, they will ensure that all the information required for a job is accurately processed and communicated to all relevant departments. Our systems are robust and well tested as they are structured to our ISO 9001 requirements.
Tech Support
