What our clients say about Shopper Anonymous UK

Mystery Shopping Testimonials

Canterbury City Partnership

“What a fantastic and exciting process Shopper Anonymous Kent has delivered, ending in a brilliant awards evening that exceeded all expectations! Enthusiastically received by both traders and City Partners alike, there's great support for doing another exercise later this year. It was a real pleasure working with Graham Seymour and his team!”

Philippe Esclasse

Canterbury City Manager on behalf of the Canterbury City Partnership Board

Booths

“This (Shopper Anonymous’ Mystery Shopping program) is a great way for us to get regular and unbiased feedback regarding how our customers would perceive our stores and our employees really look forward to looking at the reports to see how their store has performed. I have been extremely impressed by the personnel service and attention to detail Shopper Anonymous offer Booths and would highly recommend them.”

Jonathan Roskell

Regional Manager, Booths

Fodder

“Shopper Anonymous has had a huge and very positive impact on Fodder. The monthly mystery shops are very motivational for the staff and the customer service training is the best we have had and has taken us to the next level. It is great to work in partnership with such a professional and supportive organisation.”

Heather Parry

Managing Director, Fodder

Mayo Wynne Baxter

“We have put client service at the heart of our business strategy, and have set up a dedicated Client Service Department to ensure that our clients receive exceptional service at all times. Instructing Shopper Anonymous to monitor the performance of our teams has become an essential part of how we operate as a firm, as they have injected positivity and enthusiasm into our service delivery which has been welcomed by staff and clients alike”

Chris Randall

Managing Partner, Mayo Wynne Baxter’s team of Sussex solicitors

Willows Farm Village

“The service provided by Shopper Anonymous gives us a real insight into the experience we give—seen through the eyes of a customer. The reports are clear and truthful and our staff have responded very positively. In a difficult economic climate customers will be even more discerning with their discretionary spending and we believe that the Mystery Shopping services offered by Shopper Anonymous represent excellent value for money, will help us to improve our service and, in turn, help us to become more attractive to customers.”

Andrew Wolfe

Chief Executive, Willows Farm Village

Monkey Bizness

“I now have 25 highly motivated staff members thanks to the customer service training delivered by Shopper Anonymous. To get them to look at the business through the customer's eyes has made a real impact.”

Roger Tomey

Business Link

“Shopper Anonymous have been an invaluable asset in assisting with the successful delivery of a pilot project bringing together Chichester District Council & Business Link.

Produced in Kent

“We have been delighted with Shopper Anonymous Kent’s services. Graham Seymour and his team have been innovative, flexible, approachable and reliable. Their objective and detailed feedback reports have brought an invaluable new dimension to a recent project and we are looking forward to further opportunities to work with Shopper Anonymous Kent in the near future.”

Julie Monkman

Manager, Produced In Kent Limited

Jempsons

“If you are an independent retailer you should engage Shopper Anonymous to mystery shop your business. Since we have implemented their program the feedback has driven us to make numerous improvements to our business. They also have a unique understanding of the worldwide independent supermarket sector, which we have found very beneficial—definitely a good business decision for Jempsons.”

Andrew & Stephen Jempson

Jempson’s Peasmarsh

“Mystery shopping is a vital tool in helping us improve our businesses. It’s an opportunity for retailers to have an independent shopper assess their customer service right from parking their car in the car park through to picking up their bags at the checkout. Shop managers and owners can then use these reports to improve their staff’s service to their customers and direct future training.”

Paul Hargreaves

of Speciality Bites

F-Keys

“I’d like to thank you for your valuable and constructive feedback, on which we were able to act accordingly, following the Mystery Shopper exercise at the 2020 Exhibition. The feedback has been most beneficial to our organisation, especially when preparing staff members to manage our exhibition stands and deal with prospective clients on a face-to-face level.”

Alex Waterton

Director, F-Keys

Northern Harvest

“As a home delivery company we use Shopper Anonymous to give us feedback on the customer’s experience when the goods are ordered and delivered. The feedback is an extremely worthwhile exercise and it has helped us to make many improvements.”

Ed Woolley

“I would just like to take a moment to thank you and your team for the Mystery Shopping work you undertook for Bromley College. The feedback was concise and very detailed, which meant we could establish which teams need the most assistance and further training.

Fleur Stevens

Manager, Business Focus/Training Options, Bromley College of Further & Higher Education

Barraclough & Stiles Opticians

“Shopper Anonymous are one of our most professional suppliers. They deliver within timeframe and budget every time. They have been a breath of fresh air to our business and it is no surprise to me that our levels of service have substantially improved since the beginning of the year, when we embarked on their comprehensive mystery shopping program.”

Jeremy Heynes

Barraclough & Stiles Opticians

Chichester District Council

“It has been a true pleasure working with Shopper Anonymous on the Chichester Mystery Shopper initiative. The whole project has been made that much easier because they truly know their subject and can relay it in a way that gets retailers thinking.”

Kim Long

The feedback from the 80 exhibitors who were ‘mystery shopped’ on the day has been overwhelmingly positive and the results of the surveys have given businesses a real focus on how they can exceed their customers’ expectations.”

Jonathan Dolding
