We take complaints very seriously and recognise that our customers may have reason to complain from time to time. We see this as an extremely important area of our business, and it allows us to understand and address issues which may arise and to help improve our product offerings. Where our customers have expressed dissatisfaction, we are keen to put this right and to do so in a timely manner. We will be on hand to deal with any complaints and queries that our customers may have. We look for any trends emerging from our complaints data and incorporate these findings into our procedures and product design to ensure that the same issues are not repeated.
