Outstanding Customer Service from Kerri at Gillies Inverness

We would like to say a huge thank you to Kerri at Gillies Inverness for the exceptional service she gave us while we were looking for a new sofa and recliner chair.
Kerri was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and genuinely interested in helping us find the right furniture. She took the time to answer all of our questions, explain the different options available and provide us with a very competitive quotation. Kerri went above and beyond throughout the whole process and was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Excellent customer service is hard to find, and Kerri is a real credit to Gillies. We would not hesitate to seek her out again the next time we shop at Gillies Inverness, and we highly recommend asking for Kerri if you’re looking for honest advice and first-class service.

Customer Service

On Saturday 25/07/2025, my wife and I visited the furniture department at the Broughty Ferry shop where we were assisted by Claire in ordering an electric recliner. Our experience was superb, the efficient and friendly customer service was excellent throughout. Thanks for the coffee Claire ☕️ 👏👏

Excellent experience.

I visited gillies last week, to have a browse.
Bobi was most helpful and at the same time gave me plenty space to look and try chairs and settees, no push for a sale which made me feel very comfortable.
I returned a couple of days later and purchased the suite I had liked .
Very happy with Gillies .

Outstanding service

From when we initially went to look at a new sofa we have nothing but exemplary service. The sales team took time with us and fully explained all aspects of purchase and delivery. The delivery team were fantastic and ensured that the sofa was delivered safely and intact.
