Plan Introduction
Envirowaste is a waste management organisation with branches throughout New Zealand which supply commercial solutions to waste disposal and recycling. Envirowaste is an independent limited liability company which is funds managed by Ironbridge Capital; an equity provider and small to medium business buyer. All Envirowaste branches are integrated and share assets between but are managed independent of one another. This service plan will be based around Envirowaste Christchurch’s branch and their independent business structure.
Through this report I will write on the importance of customer focused strategies to Envirowaste and how these strategies effect the delivering of quality customer service. I plan to present in this report a contextualised service quality plan aimed at improving customer satisfaction which will establish a sustainable competitive advantage for Envirowaste Christchurch.
