Switched to Maslins recently and very pleased with their service.

Recently switched from Brookson (a complete shower) to inTouch and am quite content with their service...

Has there been a noticeable fall in standards since the takeover?

Not sure. I am not their client for long. And also can't compare them to others, but still I am not pleased. Not at all.

I finally left them after dismal service from my newly appointed contractor. The two people in charge I trusted to fix it left soon after the takeover so my trust in my branch fell apart. Decided to stick with a small startup headed by the ex SJD person. Going well so far. Couldn't comment on the whole of SJD though. They've been great to me over the last 8 years.

Same here, avoid. I have recently left them (July 2015), as the reason I joined them was to have an account manager, a single point of contact.
After three months she left. Assigned to another guy who was utterly useless, so I complained and demanded someone who understood accounts. Got assigned to a third person who continually lost documents I sent her, and asked me for loads of documentation I'd already sent to her predecessor.

Sorry, but I can't recommend SJD, although initial impressions WERE good.

I'd be interested to know if the takeover has had an effect on service levels (good or bad)?

Personal experience; yes there has been - but someone else may come along and so no all is still good for them......
