“I am simply writing this to express my appreciation for the service I experienced at ASSET Logan yesterday. Truly a great business name. Prior to coming I had booked into to complete my white card course.
While I was there I spoke with Spencer about my experience I was having doing the RSA course online with another company which was not good.
The attitude displayed by Spencer was the best I have ever seen. He just simply accommodated me in doing the RSA course while I was there. Top bloke.
Mike also showed such ease of customer service, it was not a problem. They both are great asset’s to your business.
Thanks to you all at ASSET. I will be recommending everyone to you.”
