Experienced complaint handler focused on customer satisfaction and resolution.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated complaint handler with extensive experience in resolving complex customer issues across various sectors. My career began as an Emergency Call Handler at the AA, where I honed my skills in managing customer queries effectively. I then transitioned to roles at HSBC and NatWest, where I further developed my expertise in complaint resolution and customer service.
In my current role as a Senior Complaint Handler at ManyPets Insurance, I have successfully managed escalated complaints, including those referred to the Financial Ombudsman Services. My leadership abilities have been recognized as I often support my team in navigating challenging situations. My recent position at Pinnacle Pet Insurance has allowed me to broaden my knowledge across different insurance sectors, enhancing my capability to deliver exceptional customer service.
