Welcome to the latest Thrive news!

Recently, we shared how we were finalising Thrive Customer Voice; the new way for you to have your say at a time, place and pace that suits you. 

Since then, we have launched our first activity which involved asking customers what they want to hear about in our Annual Report. 195 customers took part and 79% said they found this an easy way of getting involved.

We’re really pleased with this outcome because it means we get to hear from more customers than we did through our previous approach (a panel of customers, two Board members and an independent Chair that sat on our Customer Experience Panel).

To celebrate, anyone who took part could enter into a free prize draw to win a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer and you can hear from the winner by clicking here.

Part of customer experience includes how you can access our services. I'd like to thank you for your patience while my team has been working on resolving the issues with our phone system. We are working towards launching the new system in the autumn. 

We also said that we were working on a solution to provide cleaning and grounds maintenance schedules to you online. This project is underway, and we have been fine tuning the functionality of this with our web developers. There have been some complexities to overcome and we are aiming for this to be available in the autumn. In the meantime, check-out a sneak preview of what it may look like on a smartphone below!
