September 2020 performance report

Customer report 2020

Here at LiveWest we are always looking to improve the service we provide to our customers. We review our performance regularly and appreciate all of the feedback we receive on where improvements may be required. How we measure our performance is linked to our overall customer service strategy and our commitment to transforming our customer service. Here is our second performance report of 2020/21, six months into our business year, our performance targets have been affected due to COVID-19, but we aim to improve those as we travel through our phased return to our normal services.

Due to complications caused by Covid-19

We carry out surveys every month and the performance figures are based on a sample of responses. We receive replies from over 1,800 customers a year about their overall satisfaction with our services, their home, their neighbourhood and that we listen to their views.  We also ask a sample of customers who have recently experienced a service for their feedback – for example over 2,200 replies from customers about their last repair, over 600 regarding moving in to a home, approaching 600 responses about our complaints service, and over 1,500 responses about our customer service centre.

Your feedback helps us to learn and improve our services, as well as understand your views and get things right the first time. Find out more about how we are learning from your feedback here.
