I called today as my elderly Father was due to have an Engineer visit as his Sky TV was not working. Unfortunately, he is suffering from some memory issues and when the Engineer rang in advance of his appointment, my father was unable to answer his questions and so the visit was cancelled.
I called and was passed around a few departments until I was connected to Simon (Sky: SHR32) in the Accessibility Team. Simon listened carefully to the issue and went above and beyond to contact different departments to try to rebook the appointment. Once that had been booked, Simon ensured that there were notes for the Engineer explaining that my father may appear a little confused, and providing my contact number for any problems.
I really felt that Simon empathised with the situation and wanted to do as much as he could to ensure the Engineer visit goes ahead smoothly tomorrow. Once the appointment was confirmed, Simon took the time to talk me through how to provide the Power of Attorney documents to Sky, he applied the 'vulnerable customer' marker to my father's account and provided me with the phone number for the Accessibility Team.
Simon was the 4th Sky Advisor I spoke to on my 75 minute call today, and I was impressed with how he took ownership of the problem and was tenacious in finding a satisfactory resoloution. You don't often get customer service that's worth writing to the company about, but I did today and it made a fairly stressful situation a whole lot easier to deal with, so thank you Simon!
