Client Satisfaction
Annual Report
2022

Foreword

At Elland Steel we assure our clients of a valuable service through our technical expertise, flexibility and wealth of experience. We work closely with our clients to tailor our service to meet their design, aesthetic and functional requirements through great communication, technical analysis, high quality manufacturing and safe working practices.

In the first year of being Managing Director I am hugely proud to see constant improvement within the business, remaining resilient through these challenging times. 

This year’s Net Promoter (NPS) score of 82 is nothing but Excellent, better than the year before. This tells us that, for the vast majority, our service is market leading and demonstrates our fantastic relationships we have with clients that repeatedly want to do business with Elland Steel.

As we look to move on from the worst of the pandemic and along a path for recovery, we also find ourselves looking to the future and the longer-term challenges facing the construction sector, price volatility will be troublesome, yet should be dealt with fairly, if supply chains are to remain intact.

I would like to close with a final thank you to all people that dedicated their time to give sincere, generous, constructive feedback, this has helped Elland Steel focus on our values of being client centric and looking to continuously improve and share some reward with the great people of Elland Steel.

What is 'NPS'®

A Net Promoter Score® provides a measure of how a business is performing according to its customers. Scored between -100 and +100, it indicates customers’ likelihood of recommending a business or brand’s product or services. The score offers an insight into satisfaction, trust and loyalty in a business.

Globally the wider construction industry tends to perform poorly with recent data suggesting the industry has an average NPS of somewhere between 40 and 50.

Comments from respondents

What you said:

“It is a pleasure to work with Elland Steel. All technical issues get resolved prior to the construction through RFI and approvals process. On this major and complex project, there were almost no issues to resolve during construction. Elland Steel is a well set up and reliable company”

Samir Pozder, Associate Structural Engineer, BAM Design

”The design team worked well with our designers and there was an open collaboration between the teams with issues being resolved in a controlled and pragmatic manner.” 

John Hanna, Design Manager, BAM Design

 

Working with BAM, we delivered the Kings Cross S3 building, which is now called One Keskidee Square. We supplied and installed the full structural package along with the tower crane grillage that we manufactured to EXC3.

“Very professional team who are fully committed to achieving the project goals. Always available to discuss and solve issues. I would definitely recommend [The Team] who were the day to day contacts on the project.”

Stan Falade, Design Manager, VolkerFitzpatrick

”On our project at Bishops Square we worked with [The Team] and although it was not the easiest project to close out, due to issue beyond anyone’s control, everything was dealt with professionally and at all time we felt Elland were working with VolkerFitzpatrick as part of a team to make the project happen.”

Kenny Gilroy, Senior Quantity Surveyor, VolkerFitzpatrick

 

Working with VolkerFitzpatrick, we provided the structural steel package for this retail scheme in Spitalfields, London. 

How We Achieved this

We believe this high Net Promoter Score® has been achieved thanks to our combination of both professional capabilities and a personal approach.

The feedback we gathered came from professionals working in a range of disciplines, that included Quantity Surveyors, Commercial Managers, Engineers, Design Managers, Site and Project Managers. The uniformly high scores indicate consistently high standards across our commercial, technical and project teams.

Professional capabilities

We bring technical skill, expertise and experience to every job. We work proactively with clients, offering ideas and insights to support all elements of project, and are open to input from peers across the supply chain and sub-trades. In all processes we are thorough and transparent.

Personal approach

We develop trusted relationships with our clients, valuing person-to-person interaction – even if it’s been difficult sometimes due to COVID restrictions. We pride ourselves on being approachable and working closely with all suppliers and sub-trades. Clear, timely communication and collaboration are central to our working practices.

Where/What next

How we’ll sustain this and improve further:

As well as identifying patterns of good practice across our business, the scores and feedback from our ‘Client Satisfaction Report’ allows us to further improve our operations and offering.

Communication will continue to be a core priority – sharing the right information at the right time to support accurate reporting across projects. Reviewing and, where appropriate, streamlining processes, from technical processes to final handover, will help us to support programme timings on every job. By conducting departmental autopsies, we will review what works and what can be improved and take action accordingly.
