A first class friendly and helpful service – the whole process was carried out efficiently and the customer service was excellent from start to finish

In my experience local family run businesses offer a much better service and M&J Bowers are no exception. Their quality of service, reliability and costs cannot be beaten and I cannot wait to have them as our permanent confidential waste suppliers. I have also recommended them to other companies such is the faith I have in them

Just a quick email to thank you and your team so much for all their help.

Your collection guys arrived today and were very helpful, please pass my thanks to them both, all of your drivers/collectors are extremely helpful and courteous. And I would also like to thank your office team, Sarah (hope I’ve spelt her name correctly!) has been absolutely brilliant on the phone and is really professional and so helpful, you have a great office team and I really appreciate everyone’s help with our shredding! It has made a huge difference to us here.

I just wanted to write to say a BIG thank you to you and your team for the kind April offer of shredding personal data – no charge. As an independent local business established in 2007, this year is the first time we have been able to dispose of personal data. To accept your invitation for free disposal has may a huge difference to us and what a lovely gesture.

Emma is a tremendous ambassador for your company, polite, friendly and happy. This makes a true difference to us as the customer. I was also met by other staff who also demonstrated the same contentment and happiness working for you.

The Borough of Poole is pleased to confirm the award of a new 3 year contract with M&J Bowers. This builds on the relationship that has existed for many years for the collection of confidential waste and places the arrangement on a formal basis. We look forward to building on this relationship during the contract.

We are contacting you to thank you for the service you have provided the Trust over the week of August 27th. As previously discussed we were left without a cardboard collection service at very late notice. This was very disappointing for us. Your willingness to help and your approach to helping us find a solution at such short notice was very much appreciated.

The whole process from start to finish was handled extremely well. The tailored service, the communication and the willingness of your staff was brilliant.

We will be in contact when looking for future options in regards to our cardboard, as we are looking for a more sustainable self-sufficient service.

I spoke to the store the other day and they said how very helpful and courteous your team had been – I love it when that happens …

Thank you for being so understanding and for an excellent [at home shredding] service.
