VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI- Director of Customer Service, Ms Kedimone Rubaine, has urged members of the public to take advantage of the Customer Service Care Centres.

The second Customer Service Care Centre in the Virgin Islands (VI) was opened in Virgin Gorda on Thursday, July 24, 2025. 

During the ceremony, Ms Rubaine said, “We encourage you to interact with the centre.”

Great service is not a luxury, but a standard 

She added that the Public Service Transformation Programme, as it relates to customer service, champions accessibility, responsiveness and continuous improvement. 

“Our customer service programme is built on the belief that great service is not a luxury; it is a standard, and our public officers stand on the promise of delivering the same service to our clients that we expect to receive in return.”

Ms Rubaine also assured the public that the employees of these Customer Service Care Centres are trained to assist them with whatever their needs are. 

“The Customer Service Care Centres are there for the public to engage with the specialists stationed there,” she said, continuing, “They can help you make doing business with [the] government easier.”

Feedback welcomed; go to Rate Us

Feedback, questions and ideas from the public are also welcome, Ms Rubaine said. 

According to her, the government has a feedback mechanism called Rate Us (www.rateus.gov.vg). 

“You tell us how we’re doing, you tell us the things that we need to change, you tell us about your good interactions, you let us know the things that we can do to make serving you better,” she explained. 

It is together with this feedback, the standard of customer service across the VI will continue to rise.

    You’ve been doing a commendable job in your role, and I truly recognize the effort you put in. However, I must be honest — I believe there is a serious need to improve the attitude and professionalism of the immigration officers stationed at the Waterfront.
    The experience I had with them was extremely disappointing. It felt as though they were more focused on intimidating rather than assisting, treating people in a way that was unwelcoming almost as if we didn’t belong here. No one should feel that way when going through immigration.
    I strongly encourage you to consider rotating these officers or providing proper training or even replacing them if necessary. A more courteous and respectful approach would make a world of difference for everyone passing through.

    There are some people who understand that but the are a lot of people working in offices thinking we come to beg them a favor.
    And even in begging the favor they still treat you bad. Soon most businesses will hire all Philipinos

    I have noticed an improvement in customer service in some areas. Have no problem with customs or immigration at the airport. So kudos to them. A smile and a 'Welcome home' or an 'Enjoy your stay in paradise' can go a very long way. Try it you will be surprised how it makes you feel good inside.

      DMV customer service stinks like hog poop. One set of pigs working in that place. Whenever I have to go to DMV, I feel like knocking the hell out of someone who works in that place.
