Company focus: How to achieve the best customer service in the home-building industry

As CALA Homes scooped the awards for Customer Service Excellence (sponsored by Wolffe), we find out what it takes to give customers top-class service when building homes

CALA's roots are firmly in Scotland, as it started as the City of Aberdeen Land Association in 1875 and was the first Scottish company listed on the London Stock Market. As CALA is an acronym it is always reproduced in upper case.
