EXCEPTIONAL FIRMS DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL COMPLAINTS EXPERIENCES

In regulated sectors, one of the most powerful differentiators for a firm is the experience they provide their customers. The key to becoming a stand-out performer is delivering an exceptional experience at every stage of the customer journey.

A key moment of truth on this journey is when a customer makes a complaint. By delivering a high quality response, your firm can make a significant impact on customer retention, advocacy and satisfaction.

Throughout the eight months that I’ve worked with Huntswood I’ve seen first-hand how they put their customers at the heart of their business. They are a company that continues to impress, deliver and delight in equal measure.

Head of Training & Development, Insurance, Retail bank

The Huntswood team has delivered precisely to brief and in a timely manner too. I have been most pleased with the thoroughness of preparation going into the project. This, combined with the obvious regulatory and strategic experience you all have has made the project a great success.

Managing Director, major insurance firm

The project has run incredibly smoothly, which reflects great planning and great commitment to pro-actively resolve any issues … Good collaborative planning was at the heart of the operation. It primarily ensured our customers received an outstanding service but also convey confidence to regulator and all the internal stakeholders.

Operations Director, leading UK merchandise retailer

Our challenge … has been extremely demanding and Huntswood has had to deal with a rapid upsizing of the ongoing engagements, taking the number of deployed staff from an initial 16 to 174 in a very short space of time. The hassle-free experience has been testament to Huntswood’s organisational and management skills.
