Mystery Shopper meets Lord Powell

Lord Powell

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Lord Powell at his home just outside Bury St Edmunds.

Lord Powell has spent much of his working and political life representing others and his particular area of expertise is consumer rights. He now has a website, a totally free venture, which gives people the opportunity to raise and publicise issues of concern to them.

"It would be a good place to air a grievance about unfair treatment by a company or organisation, for example," he explained. "People can leave the comment anonymously if they wish, but comments are validated before publication. The site is intended to be very constructive, and also gives companies the opportunity to reply."

Lord Powell has been involved in many community minded projects locally and was a founder member of the St Edmundsbury Town Centre Management Group. "Views on Bury St Edmunds and how we can move forward are also welcome here" he said.

The website is easy to use, and topics of both national and local interest have been raised. Lord Powell often responds personally and can sometimes follow up issues.

You can find out more about Lord Powell and this venture on the website itself. www.lordpowell.co.uk
