With less than two weeks to go until the 2020 Motor Boat Awards, the finalists for the Customer Service Award have been announced
This highly prized award, sponsored by Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance, is the only one in which all the nominations have to come from members of the public who have experienced exceptional customer service from a company in the leisure marine sector.
Readers of Motor Boat & Yachting magazine, MBY.com and visitors to our Facebook page are all invited to nominate companies and give examples of the service they have received.
The judges then take a close look at all the nominations and chose the finalists based on the quality of the service they have received not just the number of nominations – to ensure it isn’t always won by the company with the most customers. Without further ado, this year’s finalists are:
Bates Wharf
