January 2023
Repairs Service
"I would like to pass on my thanks and let you know how great my first experience has been with Thrive.
I reported to my previous landlord last July that I had a problem with my front door. I have felt unsafe in my home since then and either me or my daughter have always made sure we were home as I did not feel we could both go out at the same time due to the fault with the door.
I reported this to Thrive on the 4th January and was told it would be raised as a 24 hour job. The engineer attended within 4 hours and carried out a temporary repair. The engineer was outstanding. He offered identification before he entered my property, he was very polite and I cannot fault him.
I feel much safer in my home now. I can actually book a holiday now which I could not do before. I am very grateful."
Repairs Service
"I would just like leave a compliment to the gas fitter who came today to do gas check to my boiler. As the my boiler was over 15 years old, he found two issues with it and informed me he would have shut boiler down.
As it was a Friday and leaving me with no heating or hot water.
He decided to go away get some parts and temporarily fix the issues until new boiler is fitted.
A big thank you to him for going that extra mile."

"I would like to praise the Thrive engineer for the works carried out to resolve a badly leaking stop tap in my property. I was impressed with the speed of attendance and the engineer was very polite and did a fantastic job"

After moving to my property for terrible circumstances and being afraid of men she has made me and my children feel so safe and welcome she has understood how I felt and respected every inch of my insecurities and worries and took it upon herself to personally help me when I was concerned with dealing with a male housing officer. She is always there on hand when I have a question on query and has always gone above and beyond to make me feel safe and listened too. She is a great credit to Thrive and I hope she is recognised for this email and how much me and my children appreciate her help. Thanks again“

Again thank you so much for all your hard work and fast responses/actions"

Marketing Communications
"The customer engagement video is superb, what a fantastic edit!"
Repairs service
"Thank you to Thrive for the service I received. I have just returned from holiday and my heating and shower were not working. I am 86 and was very cold. I spoke to the customer service advisor and she booked in emergency jobs for heating and shower which were booked in by the planner and two operatives attended and fixed the problems very quickly. The service was terrific and I am very pleased. I just wanted to say thank you to Thrive"
Repairs service
"An operative attended and may I say is a credit to Thrive. He went above and beyond his duties, he was polite, his customer service was impeccable and most importantly he listened. I explained the issues faced and within minutes he fixed the issue, I explained the issue about the magnet plates that I reported weeks ago to which the operative got an Allen key and resolved the matter in seconds. During this period I stepped on a loose piece of glass to which he was very thoughtful and asked if I wanted a plaster out of his van, seriously impressed. He offered to get a hover but I retrieved mine and hovered to which he took over. I started to discuss the difficulties faced with (another resident’s) door and the operative was more than welcome to have a look and try to resolve the matter. He was a gentlemen and even though his duties has been completed he was willing to do others to save you time and money from sending out another contractor. The operative resolved many job’s currently outstanding within moments and is a true credit to Thrive. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.“

"I just wanted to acknowledge how helpful from start to finish a member of staff has been with me. I e-met her on Tuesday, (bearing in mind that was less than 48 hours ago) and have secured my first flat today in pretty amazing timing.
I had a horrible experience with a lettings agent just a few weeks ago and have a time limit to move out of my family home which is now sold in early January.
The Thrive colleague has been super attentive and really fourth-coming with the entire process and I look forward to starting my tenancy, now feeling I’m in capable and honest hands.
She’s a credit to the company and I absolutely feel I’ve made the right housing choice. Thank you so much!"
