The staff in the store were very helpful and went out of their way to find the product we were looking for as it was being discontinued. We then ordered it online and it was delivered the next day.

Outstanding customer service from Greenock CEF
Outstanding customer service from Chris Keast, Chris, and Eddie from the Greenock branch. They helped me, as an end customer, navigate the complexities of ordering the correct kit and having it delivered on time to Argyll. They were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable in supporting our needs. I would highly recommend using them, and we will definitely use them again.
