The only minor change is that we’d ask you to please bear with us if your post is a little bit slower than usual, due the unprecedented circumstances placed upon the mail system at present.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. On terminating the account I was given incorrect infromation. I have spent over six months trying to cancel and still nothing. Instead they continue to try to charge for a service I do not use. I simply see their actions as Fraud. Zero customer service. Merely interested in making money whatever way they can.

Good Points: Lovely reception staff and professional centre manager Bad Points: Sales lady didn't really "sell" what was on offer. I realised after signing up for the basic license that I needed to upgrade in order to have my business address available on companies house. Accounts department does not know what they are doing. Never got my invoices and my statement of account was wrong. Had to move over to a competitor which are providing a much better service.

Thank you. This is what I just posted in Google Review: "The enveloppes that they forward our letters does not, most of the time, glue properly (like if they have bought cheap batches of enveloppes). Most of them have worn out glue and are delievered open. In one case one enveloppe reached me totally empty because the letters it included had fallen off on its way because of the worn out glue. Twice I had HMRC correspondences of another company forwarded to me by mistake. When I emailed VV - there was a muted silence; not even an apology. I had to look out for the poor addressee and arrange to forward it. My contract copy has never been posted back to me despite my email to Skevi. Emails are also not answered. The service is bad and the staff are really careless."
