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.

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.
