Customer service remains the lifeblood of a lasting relationship between a customer and the organisation. The results of the survey demonstrate that Scottish Friendly is once again rated well above average compared to the industry.
The group's service standards commitment is designed to ensure that customer service staff can deal with 90% of all calls. During a time of dramatic change through the takeover of Scottish Legal Life and an expansion of our Customer Services teams, customers have clearly noted that they feel they have experienced a reduction in the level of service that they expect from Scottish Friendly.
Scottish Friendly shall make all efforts to ensure that the experience and professionalism of our expanded customer service team will help the group to return to top quarter ratings across the board.
