Order was seamless

Order was seamless. Sacks arrived quickly and despite some weeks between order and collection the sacks were collected promptly after my request. Will us again.

Excellent communication from start to…

Excellent communication from start to finish and all questioned answered promptly. Also good value for money, we used 60 prepaid sacks and managed to clear a huge amount of paperwork for much less than other shredding companies had quoted.

Very efficient

The service is very efficient. Buy the sacks, fill the sacks, tell them when they are full, wait a few days for collection. The destruction certificate arrives a day or so later.

There's no fuss whatsoever.

A very efficient service

A very efficient service from the ordering of the bags, arranging collection and then their destruction. Had to re-arrange the collection date, which was not an issue and the gentleman that collected was pleasant, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.
