Established in 1989 by three partners as a customer service training consultancy, Tern cut its teeth in the mystery shopping world in the early 90’s. Our first nationwide programme for Black & Decker Service Centres, was quickly followed by a mystery shopping contract with HMV, and from this point the entire focus of Tern was firmly on mystery shopping and customer insights.
Tern is now one of the UK’s leading mystery shopping agencies, and has since built a reputation for designing and operating programmes that deliver visible improvements for a diverse range of companies and sectors.
From our experienced project and media managers at our Head Office to our 20,000+ skilled mystery shoppers on the ground, everyone at Tern understands the importance of great service. We are dedicated to helping you to build an exceptional experience for your customers.
Tern is renowned for having productive long term client partnerships, a rapport that has enabled us to continually grow over our 27 years in the business.
