This sentiment was echoed by Andy Hayes, who specifically highlighted SBI’s ethical approach: “A very professional/ethical service from start to finish.

Sally Bayne commended the team for working “on possibly hottest couple of days of the year!” whilst maintaining their professional standards, answering questions “courteously and precisely, and cleared up afterwards!”
