Our team at Foyleside are dedicated to continuing to be the industry leader in providing the very best of customer service in the country.
We pride ourselves in making sure that our shoppers are well looked after and have everything they need under one roof. With this in mind we have recently added to our portfolio of services.
Not only do we have a fully trained customer service team of 80 individuals who offer a welcome smile and assistance, the centre now offers a range of additional services ensuring the greatest shopping experience.
We offer the following services completely free, customer Wi-Fi, a concierge service and sensory support is now available at our Customer Service Desk. In addition we have Shop Mobility including a sighted guide shopping service. We are delighted to offer the very best customer service and a warm welcome to all of our shoppers.
The Sensory Room is a unique space for children and young adults with autism and other sensory needs. The centre has worked closely with Autism NI to become more autism friendly with specific staff training and Wednesday evenings now being designated quiet evenings. The main mall and retailers will turn off in-store music to help make the shopping experience less stressful for customers affected by autism.
The new sensory room is part of a wider initiative to improve accessibility for all in the centre. The new calming room features fibre optics, bubble tubes and other devices to help remove anxiety if the child or adult becomes distressed, as well as sound and light levels which can be customised throughout, depending on individual needs. It is an ideal place to deal with sensory overloads. Autism NI has also trained six Foyleside staff members to become centre champions. These champions are on hand to assist any child or adult with autism to plan and organise their shopping trips, directing them to the sensory room and other facilities and helping them deal with any possible chaotic experiences.
The new adult changing toilets are wheelchair accessible and offer a height-adjustable adult-sized changing bench, a ceiling track hoist, and plenty of space for carers. Our Foyleside Customer Service Assistants are on site to direct you to this facility.
