“I was very interested to get involved in working with Tern and gaining some further insights into my business through the use of mystery shopper reports. Whilst we are receiving great reviews about our customer service & quality following our guests stay, I was curious as to how well we were handling our customers prior to their arrival. It was certainly surprising to see the results. I have to say I was disappointed with how we were letting ourselves down and allowing potential business to slip through our fingers. The mystery shopper reports from Tern have meant that we have made some positive changes to our procedures and the management of leads & calls coming into the business. A winning solution.”
Lucja Leonard, General Manager, Crowne Plaza Edinburgh – Royal Terrace

“Great service and quick response time with a swift supply of profiled shoppers. The reports were of a high quality, with an attention to detail to match. Following each visit the mystery shopping results were presented in line with the SLAs. Tern were able to present us with data above and beyond our expectations and when we asked for the individual scores to be combined, they presented with highly effective overview of our service.”

“David Lloyd Leisure has over 450,000 members and employs some 6000 people. Maintaining the highest levels of service is paramount in our customer offer and Tern are key in enabling us to track service and build accountability into our personnel management. Their ability to adapt to our changing needs whilst maintaining a consistently high service has led us to build on our relationship and make use of video and written reporting. Their input has become fundamental to the management of our clubs and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.”
Martin Evans, Sales Director – David Lloyd
“We have used tern’s mystery shopper program for 8 years. The information, suggestions and recommendations provide by Tern has helped us continuously improve our overall results year on year. The level of information has really helped us focus on our customer service and increase pitch nights.”
Belinda Fairhurst, Site Operations and Business Development Manager – The Camping and Caravanning Club
“Our local takeaways are the beating hearts of our high streets. From incredible Indians to perfect pizzerias, every town has their heroes and every individual has their favourite. Tern were instrumental in supporting the final selection process for our annual ‘British Takeaway Awards’ and provided the extra validation required to help support our judges scoring decisions.
Being able to have a robust and independent third party review of the restaurants shortlisted is an important component of the process. Tern were able to deliver a high volume of reports, with a detailed survey breakdown in a very tight delivery window. We look forward to their support on mystery shopper projects in the future.”
Danielle Colletta, Sponsorship and Events Manager – Just Eat
"Video mystery shopping benefits us because seeing is believing, so when you show somebody how they interact with customers, how they act when they are asking questions and when they’re communicating, video is far better tool for communication for employees than any other medium. For me it’s all about it making it easy and being able to deliver the objective that we’re trying to achieve and tern has helped us deliver that every single time."
Gareth Thomas, Dealership Principal – Rybrook BMW
"We have been working with Tern for over a year now and the service has been fantastic. They put a huge emphasis on client relationships and our account managers Laura and Holly have been brilliant. Questions, updates, changes and queries have been no problem at all. We love how they tailored their approach and really got to know our business needs. Thanks Tern!"

Tern Mystery Shopper
I have worked with various companies carrying out mystery shopper visits and teen are by far the best company I have worked with , they pay quickly and flexible too . Definitely recommend to others. .
Best Mystery Shopping Payers!
I have been mystery shopping for about 14 years and with a number of various companies. Tern are by far the best payers, sometimes paying on the day of the assignment! They also have fabulous, helpful and friendly staff!
A great, straightforward company
Most of their jobs are quick and easy, and they pay quicker than other companies rather than making you wait until the next month. It’s friendly and no-nonsense at the same time.
