Indigo’s Group Clients and Testimonials:
4Wood TV & Film
“We have been incredibly impressed with the service provided by Indigo. Fantastic, ongoing support from our Business Development Manager, Katie Hathaway, as well as superb support from the office team. Our only issue would be that we didn’t sign up to Indigo sooner!”
-Lynsey Fisher, Company Director/Secretary
A.D. Mechanical Services
“We have used Indigo Service Solutions Limited since the beginning of 2011. From the very start we found the transition to their company to be both efficient and smooth, with Indigo Service Solutions adapting their systems to receive input information in a format that suited ourselves. The level of service we have received since then has been to an exceptional standard, proving to be reliable and accurate. One area that we feel they exceed, is the level of communication to the subcontractors. With prepayment text, follow up emails or letters along with annual statements, reducing our administration time.”
Bedford Electrical
