“Your service is impeccable, and your people, especially Jim.  I couldn’t speak more highly of Jim, He is fantastic! Also having the items sent for certain units at one time, rather than everything at once, made a huge difference.  We were able to concentrate on getting a number of rooms completed before moving onto the next ones.“

INFO ABOUT PROJECT

The current owners bought a rundown motel which needed to be completely refurbished. They asked Michelle and Neil Stewart to help them with the project. The rooms were completely gutted from floor to ceiling, with the previous room contents given away. Having known Vendella for a number of years, Michelle got in contact looking for help and guidance with the refurbishment. She requested one of our account managers visit them, and Jim Boakes leapt at the opportunity to share his knowledge. Going through each room and working with Michelle and Neil, Jim gave suggestions as to what products would work well, gave sound advice, and answered any questions they had. To give Michelle and Neil an idea of what the rooms would look like, Jim organised samples so they could trial the bedcovers etc.

PROBLEM WE SOLVED / REASON FOR PARTNERING WITH VENDELLA

Durham Court Motor Inn chose Vendella to help with their refurbishment because we were long-time suppliers of theirs. They love dealing with us because of our service and work ethics. They chose us because of our standards, our people, and our impeccable service. When it came to delivery, we were able to pack and send goods for a certain number of the units at once, giving the owners time to set the rooms up completely before moving onto the next lot of rooms.
