This such an immense achievement for the debt recovery business, not only have they gone through a rigorous assessment showing they put their customers at the forefront of what they do but they are also the first in their field to do so.”

“Newly certified organisations like this prove that Customer Service Excellence can be implanted and benefit any type of business. Phillips and Cohen should be extremely proud of what they have achieved; I wish them all the luck in the future with their Customer Service Excellence certification and journey.”
