‘I think one of the things that strikes me the most is how well they know our business. They know our policies inside out, our people, what makes us tick, and what matters to us. They also make us feel important in their accessibility, approachability, advice and more.'
‘They're all down-to-earth, knowledgeable, direct and helpful. They give you the advice you need but aren't afraid to tell you about risks and better approaches. They don't pander and that's good, as it's not what we're looking for!’
