Micron have been awarded a Gold Certificate for Customer Satisfaction Achieved based upon a recent BenchmarQ Customer Satisfaction survey. This independent survey, carried out under the requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard, involved contacting a random selection of customers both in the UK and overseas and asking them to complete questionnaires covering many aspects of customer service received. Participants could choose to remain anonymous if they wished, to ensure they were able to answer all questions as fully as possible.
Micron’s workforce are delighted that their entry, “Sir Winston Churchill” took First Prize at Bromyard’s Scarecrow Festival this weekend . The scarecrow, designed and built by Janet, Gina, Wendy and Rob, was one of over 40 entries that began the Festival on Friday night with a parade from St. Peter’s Church to the town square and then on through Bromyard’s crowded High Street to the town green.
The theme for this year’s competition was “Historical Characters”, and Sir. Winston was accompanied on his journey around the town by Abraham Lincoln, King Henry VIII and Cleopatra, to name but a few. Local dignitaries commended Micron on their entry.
Micron Sprayers Limited are using their prize money to donate a shield that can be presented annually to the winners of the “Best Scarecrow” category.
Janet is now taking orders for classic cardboard cars – any make, colour or model considered!
