Feedback for Paul Donavon

Feedback for Paul Donavon – EDF Customer Service

I would like to give some very positive feedback about a member of your customer service team, Paul Donavon.

Paul was absolutely wonderful. He listened patiently to everything I had to say and took the time to understand the problems I was dealing with. We were on the phone for quite some time, and throughout the conversation he was incredibly kind, understanding, patient and caring.

I have been going through a very difficult time following the passing of my partner, and Paul showed genuine compassion and empathy towards me. He didn’t make me feel rushed or like I was just another customer. He simply listened, understood and treated me with kindness.

Customer service like this really does make a difference, especially when someone is going through a difficult period. Paul is a real credit to EDF and a very good representative of your company.

I would give Paul 10 out of 10 without hesitation. He deserves recognition for the way he handled my call and for the genuine care and understanding he showed me.

Please pass on my thanks to Paul. I truly appreciated his kindness.
