I have worked with Luke for coming up to 5 years and I have always known him to be a genuinely approachable Guy who will go out of his way to help you.
It wasn’t until I started working more closely with Luke at the beginning of this year that I appreciated fully to who Luke is and what he does as an engineer. Statistically Luke is constantly excelling every month, producing impressive response times and 1st Time fix rates etc. Beyond that, the rapport he has with his clients is natural and I have yet to hear anything other than praise from them. Likewise, with his colleagues, whether fellow Engineers or form other departments within Express Vending I have only heard high compliments for the work he does, the help he gives and the way he represents the business. Luke will always go above and beyond with not only his own work but also helping others with theirs, delivering what he believes all clients deserve – World Class Service.

Hi,
I just want to thank you again for arranging for Luke to deliver and install the pod machine. It looks great and he showed me how to use it which I can pass onto the client.
Luke was great and went out of his way to help me with other bits that needed sorting as well which I really appreciate.
Thanks again,
Pippa
