Transparency Since 1999

Before TripAdvisor (founded 2000)

Before Google Reviews (founded 2007)

Before Trust Pilot (founded 2007)

BASS was publishing complete client survey data online. In 1999. When most businesses hid their feedback, we published everything - including the 0.056% who rated us "Poor" (2 people out of 357 on value).

This transparency continues today...

We were publishing articles on the BASS website from the beginning.

You’ll find some examples here - and they are still relevant today
