Service has been one of the keys to Bell’s success. “We really differentiate ourselves from our competitors with the service we offer our customers. Customers want their supplier to make them feel special. They want to feel that the supplier is doing something very unique for them. That is what we provide our customers," said James Heinz, Bell’s president and CEO.
