How well do you know your consumer rights? Do you need help to resolve an issue with a company that’s just not listening?
I’m Lady Janey and I am one of the top 5 Consumer Champions in the UK as featured in the Daily Mail, The Sun and Woman, Woman’s Own, Pick Me Up and Take a Break magazines. I’m an expert in my field specialising in travel and hospitality and I’m also a guest author for WhichUK Conversation and ResolverUK. I don’t take any prisoners when it comes to standing up for your rights so if you’ve got a problem with a company that’s not playing fair, then I can help. If it’s not worth it, don’t pay for it!
On the Lady Janey blog I tackle a range of consumer issues whilst championing the best of companies and challenging the worst to promote the highest standards of Customer Service in the UK today. The exclusive Saturday Spotlight directory of excellence showcases only the VERY BEST of companies and the ‘Breakfast With ……’ series covers interviews with some of the biggest players in Business & Customer Service today. Mystery Shop Monday sees me out and about finding out exactly which companies provide good service and which definitely don’t and My Reviews cover only the very best places to eat, drink, visit and stay.
Have you read my latest book ‘Are You Being Served? It’s inspired by the world of Customer Service and beautifully described by Lorraine Kelly as “a delightful, insightful collection of poems.” My first book 30 Reasons to Hire a Mystery Shopper is also available to purchase on Amazon.
Happy reading!
