CMR proved to be a good choice providing a professional and reliable service! Collections and reporting were prompt and valuation proved to be £50,000 more than anticipated. CMR also developed an online shop to accommodate the employees and volunteers who wanted to buy the mobile devices they had used at the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. The whole process was very smooth and LOCOG were delighted with the quality of CMR’s service.
