Northumbrian Water’s ‘Make My Day’ campaign saw random shoppers at The Bridges in Sunderland given a range of gifts including flowers and vouchers.

It was held during National Customer Service Week this week and was launched to make as many peoples’ days as possible, in as many different ways as possible.

The campaign is aimed to show the water company’s customers how much they care and how important they are to them.

Claire Sharp, Northumbrian Water’s customer service director, said: “We had a fantastic time in Sunderland and it was great to meet and surprise so many of our customers on Wearside.

“Our customers are at the heart of everything we do at Northumbrian water and our make my day campaign was just another way of showing them just how much we care about them and how much they mean to us.”

As well as handing over gifts and trips to random people, the campaign also saw Northumbrian Water employees giving their time to support community projects and give donations.
