Customer service guru Simon Scarborough has changed the name of his consultancy – to reflect a wider range of recent business wins.
Mr Scarborough, former general manager of Bournemouth’s Norfolk Royale hotel, set up the Assured Hospitality consultancy in mid-2013 to offer best-practice advice to tourism businesses across Dorset.
Barely two-and-a-half years later, his client base has expanded beyond the tourism sector, prompting the decision to re-launch the company as Simon Scarborough Associates.
“Since setting up my own company, I have had the pleasure of working with a great many tourism-related organisations in and around Dorset,” says Mr Scarborough,” and I fully intend to continue that work.
“In recent months, however, I have been contracted by several companies – at a local, regional and national level – outside the tourism sector.”
In today’s commercial world, he says, forward-thinking entrepreneurs need to differentiate themselves from their competitors, and quality customer service is a sure-fire way of winning and retaining new business.
“I’m now working with a much broader client base, covering the legal, academic and retail professions, so we had rather outgrown the ‘hospitality’ tag.”
