The Company takes every opportunity to resolve complaints at the first initial point of contact. Immediate resolution is always attempted where possible and where little, or no investigation is required. We aim to resolve most face to face and telephone issues in this manner.

Our frontline employees are trained to deal with your issues and are equipped to resolve your complaint as it relates to their area of service or expertise. However, should you feel that your concerns remain unresolved, you will be offered the option of making a formal complaint.

  • Provide you with details of who you can contact should you be unhappy with our final decision.
