Alexandra Dobocan, head of communications and PR, The Furniture Ombudsman, says: “Entering an Award can be a very exciting and rewarding endeavour for any organisation. I am delighted to have been selected to judge these businesses on their initiatives. Customer service is in the DNA of our organisation and one of the reasons we exist is to improve the customer experience in the UK. I am therefore excited to see what colleagues from other industries are doing to raise standards.”
