We are committed to providing a high-quality service to all our clients. When something goes wrong, we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our standards.

If you have a complaint, please contact us with the details.

We aim to ensure that:

What is a complaint?

A complaint is when you tell us you are not happy about the service we provide.

It can be about anything and could include:

- When we do not deliver a service on time
- When we give you the wrong information
- When you receive a poor quality service
- When you have a problem with a member of staff

We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 2 working days.

We will issue a full response within 10 working days.

If there is a delay in responding we will keep you informed of our progress.

If we have not resolved your complaint to your satisfaction within 6 weeks, you can refer your complaint to Ombudsman Services as below.

What you can do if you're still not happy

If you're still not happy having followed the process above, and we've sent you a 'deadlock' letter or 6 weeks have passed since you complained, you can refer your complaint to Ombudsman Services.

Ombudsman Services provide a free, independent service for customers who aren't satisfied with the final outcome of their complaints.

Ombudsman Services can't deal with complaints about commercial policy (e.g. our prices or service availability). Nor can it deal with complaints from businesses with more than 10 employees.

If you complain to Ombudsman Services, you must do so within 6 months of receiving your 'deadlock' letter. If we haven't sent you a 'deadlock' letter, you must contact Ombudsman Services within 12 months of making your complaint to us.

You can contact Ombudsman Services at:

Ombudsman Services : Communications
PO Box 730
Warrington
WA4 6WU

Telephone number: 0330 440 1614

Please remember to reference Glide Group Ltd when contacting the ombudsman service.
