Orbit Homes has been presented with four Gold Awards for customer satisfaction by specialist market research company, In-house Research Ltd.
The independent awards are based on feedback from customers six weeks after they have moved into their new home. The Gold Award is accredited to organisations which achieve a score of 90% or above.
In the survey year, covering handovers from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021, Orbit Homes received a Gold Award for an overall customer satisfaction score of 96%.
The In-house Gold Award was also presented to all three Orbit Homes regions:
- East – 98.6%
- Midlands – 96.3%
- South – 94.7%
This is the eighth consecutive year that Orbit Homes has been presented with a Gold Award. This outstanding accolade means that since 2014, more than 90% of Orbit customers would recommend the housebuilder to their friends and family.
Commenting on the award success, group director of Orbit Homes, Helen Moore, said:
“I am extremely proud of these results. To be presented with the Gold Award for the 8th year running is an outstanding achievement in itself, but to also achieve over 90% across all three of our regions is a real endorsement of our commitment to delivering excellent customer service.
“We place our customers at the heart of what we do, and our aim is to ensure the homes we provide and the communities we create are high quality, affordable, safe and sustainable. This means building a range of great quality homes, which people can afford, in a place which they are proud to live. By offering a choice of purchasing options, we can make home ownership more achievable for our customers and help them find their place to thrive.”
Tom Weston, chief executive at In-house Research, added:
“We are extremely proud to be working with such a customer focused business. The industry has faced many challenges over the last year from rising costs, adapting to new ways of working, and continued pressure on the whole supply chain. The ‘Gold Award’ recognises that dispute these challenges, Orbit have continued to put their customers at the heart of everything that they do.
“This award places them alongside some of the best companies in the UK for customer service. It’s only through delivering an exceptional service throughout the customer journey, combined with a high level of finish and build quality that recommendation scores reach this level. We are so pleased to recognise all the staff at Orbit Homes that have contributed to the achievement of this award.”
