I can not express my gratitude enough towards Hillier. I had the pleasure of dealing with Reece, Tracy and Kai. From the first point of contact until after the ashes were released, they have made sure I was looked after and that everything … read more was as requested.
If anything needed changing they did this quickly and without complaint. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate a complex situation and work around it. Kai was professional and made sure that everyone knew what was happening and fulfilled requests asked of him in a professional but friendly manner. Tracy was professional, friendly and had alot of patience both with organising specific requests and generally chatting. Reece himself went above and beyond expectations. He was quick in his responses, he made dealing with various situations stress free and made sure everything flowed effortlessly. Reece was able to read the tone of various situations and dealt with them accordingly.
I can not thank the team enough for their patience, compassion and care. I am and always will be forever grateful. If you want effortless planning with kind, compassionate and caring people, there is no other choice. Thank you all again! -
