Jan 22, 2022 Report

After a recent visit to Richard Reed I was pleasantly greeted by the receptionist who guided me to the waiting area which was very clean and well presented. After a very professional consultation I was more than happy with the level of service I had received. I have used Richard Reed for many years for Private work and Commercial business. Of which they have never let me down and always shown a true Professional service. So I would highly recommend Richard Reed if you require true professionalism from start to finish.

Critical:Responsiveness
I have been waiting for a free hold case to be addressed for 6 months. When I send an email I always get an out of office, phone is always engaged. I work overseas so its not possible to just go to the office. Not a good service at all, I am not even able to contact them to tell them to just forget it
