I hope this message finds you well. We have noticed your recent review on Trustpilot concerning our business. We take all feedback very seriously and aim to provide the best service possible to our clients.

Upon reviewing your feedback and cross-referencing it with our records, we could not find any correlation or incident that matches your description. It is paramount for us to ensure that all reviews are genuine, accurate, and based on real experiences, as they play a significant role in shaping the perception of our business in the online community.

We kindly request you to review your post and ensure that it accurately reflects a genuine experience you had with our business. If it is a genuine oversight or confusion regarding our services or brand, we would appreciate it if you could rectify or remove your review.

Please understand that if we find any review to be fake, misleading, or defamatory, we have the right to take necessary steps to protect our business reputation. We believe in open and honest communication, so we hope it doesn't come to this, but if the review remains without validation, we may have to consider taking legal action.

We value the Trustpilot community and believe in its core principle of providing real and authentic reviews to guide customers. We hope you understand the seriousness of posting genuine reviews and our stance on this matter.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resolving this matter amicably.

Be very careful working with iSpy and their finance partner Chevington (CF&I). I was a loyal customer for 10 years and when I came to the end of my current 5 year contract I had a very difficult time extracting myself from their clutches.

I gave 8 months notice (which Chevington tried to deny) but still almost got signed up for another 5 years.

Please check your notice period!

You will have to pay a £200+ collection fee for any equipment to iSpy and couple hundred pounds to Chevington for god knows what.

Unfortunately, I can not give 0 stars.

Hi Anthony,
Firstly i would like to apologise that you had to take the time to write this review.
The review you have given is nothing to do with the service provided by ISPY over the years but the terms and conditions which were clear at the time of signing.
I see you also have posted a similar review regarding a contracts term and conditions to a different supplier.
We always suggest to our customers to read through the terms and conditions of our contracts before signing to ensure they know the procedures to follow and bring up any queries before signature.
Should you wish to discuss this further with myself please call ISPY on 01702 886 222.

Great customer service

The engineer Chris was great communicating exactly what time he would arrive and was really helpful during his time here. He not only assisted me on moving some stuff out of the way, he also helped the steam pressure inspector.

The Ispygroup are great

The Ispygroup are great, we have 7 water dispensers from them on a three year agreement. The installation was smooth, the annual service goes like a dream and if there are any problems the team are always happy to fix the problem very quickly. I would certainly recommend the Ispygroup to everyone. Paul (F&B Manager) Private Members Club, London.

Top class service!

Had a call out from an engineer to fix our coffee machine. The level of service these guys provide is exceptional. Problem was fixed, they also provided staff with clear and precise training.

The engineer left and we had a slight problem with the machine but he was 100 miles away. The guy drove all the way back to us to sort it out. 400 miles of driving for a customer speaks volumes.

Fantastic service. The gentleman was called Glyn.

Machine Services

Over the past few weeks we have put in a few engineer call outs for problems with our machine due to being closed for such a long time. On both occasions Steve has been out to us and dealt with the issues quickly, efficiently and professionally as always. Always on time too, its good not have to be hanging about waiting.
Highly Recommend I SPY Coffee

The service has been absolutely amazing, I had a request on Monday and by Wednesday we were all sorted. The Engineers are all very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. We have used several companies for our hot and cold water requirements and can honestly say Ispygroup are the best all round.

Ispygroup supply and service the water cooler dispensers

Ispygroup supply and service the water drinking fountains to my school.

Although we are a relatively small school, the service I have received over a number of years has been excellent. Due to the recent Covid-19 issue, I was required to replace all my existing water cooler units with more up to date units in order to limit the spread of the virus. My contract with them was amended (no extra cost to me) and the engineer turned up on time, with the new units, which were all installed, very professionally, in a couple of hours.
The back up and service is first class and I would not hesitate in recommending Ispygroup to any organisation who have or are considering having these type of units installed.
