Our Service Commitment

Service is key, and we pride ourselves on the service we deliver to you. The purpose of this Service Commitment is to provide you with details of the service that you can expect from the Club, in the key areas of underwriting, claims handling and loss prevention. Our Service Commitment provides a measure against which the service received can be judged. It has been set using the results of customer satisfaction surveys and from general feedback from Members and brokers.

The Board and Managers are determined to meet, and where possible exceed the standards set out in our Service Commitment. We are keen to encourage feedback and welcome any comments that you may have about our service. If you wish to discuss any aspect of Club service please contact us at marketing@ttclub.com.
