Complaints Policy for Clients

Osmond Davis’s policy is to be helpful with complaints, dealing with them promptly, efficiently and wherever possible, to the satisfaction of customers.  We also aim to provide clear information about the complaints process and appropriate routes for further action should a satisfactory result not transpire.

Contact for complaints

Your individual Osmond Davis advisor will try to resolve simple issues, straight away where possible. That person will best know the details surrounding your concerns but if we can not provide a satisfactory answer by the end of the next working day, the information will be passed to the Managing Director or Office Manager for further investigation.

We will be pleased to deal with all concerns, however if your complaint relates to additional services offered to Osmond Davis customers via a third party, we will suggest that you may wish to contact that third party direct.

Making a complaint

You may make a complaint either verbally or in writing.  If you decide to write, please address your letter to:

The Managing Director, Osmond Davis Insurance Brokers, Minerva House, Bordyke, Tonbridge, Kent, TN9 1NP.

If your concerns cannot be resolved by close of business the following working day or if the complaint was in writing, you will receive an acknowledgement letter from us within 2 days.

We aim to resolve matters within 5 days.  If this is not possible, we will write to you with an update and expected date of response.  This will be within 20 working days from the date that you first complained.  If you are not happy, you may write directly to the Managing Director at any time.

If our investigations have not been completed within 8 weeks, we will outline our findings to you by letter, explain why we have been unable to resolve the issue and highlight referral rights to the Financial Ombudsman Service:
