Called Octopus to raise an issue we had , explained the situation to the extremely helpful & patient member of staff called Dave ( possibly DaveM?) he was absolutely fantastic explained what I needed to do clearly and provided expert guidance on how we could resolve the issue.
Despite a lot of moving parts and lots of paperwork he gave clear time lines and important guidance on how he would resolve the issue.
It’s very refreshing especially a utility company that employs knowledgeable staff that actually know what they are doing and don’t adopt the attitude “ The Computer says No attitude “

Sahela came to the rescue

Well we were with Octopus but got a smart meter fitted in early May and since then no bills. I have tried ringing your number many times and kept getting "it will take three weeks to sort". There was also a one of your "pods" in the Metro Centre Gateshead. It was not until I spoke with Sahela that I got any sense out of your staff. She has been professional and pro-active sorting out the problem. A treasure.

Tahesha was friendly and efficient in resolving the issue I had with initialising the new meter at the correct date of installation. Billing is now up to date. And I can enter future readings.

She went the extra mile in recording details of the current state of commissioning of the smart meter which is currently working but not communicating. And forwarded them to the metering team

Fabulous

Fabulous! I spoke with Grace multiple times and she was extremely patient with me and explained everything with clarity. I have autism and find all this adulting buisness very confusing at times 😆 so it makes a HUGE difference to what I find challenging when you recieve such great customer service, where nothing feels too bigger task, or silly a question. A lot of other home services (my Internet provider for one 😆) could take a note out of Octopus's book because its certainly the best service, responsive, and you get to talk to a real human! Couldnt recommend enough

Jamie-Lea was fantastic

Jamie-Lea was fantastic - efficiently helped me with the two things I called about regarding our new business account and then told me about the referral incentive that I would be eligible to claim. So friendly and helpful.

I spoke with Zaid

I spoke with Zaid, and he was honestly the most helpful person ever! He set up my business account and switched everything over for me, making the whole process incredibly easy. He was super polite, professional and patient throughout. I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received—thank you so much, Zaid!
