From the start the team at GDS we're receptive to our requirements, keen to work with us, listen and more importantly act on feedback to make improvements to their system. Of course there were teething difficulties, as always when moving from one provider to another, and our staff were less than keen to change. We had no choice, and are delighted that we found GDS. The training at the beginning, support on launch day and after was magnificent, the help desk team are excellent two years in we still feel the same, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GDS.
