The ServiceMark is a national standard which is awarded to organisations committed to delivering excellent customer services and an on-going commitment to customers.
Hodge was founded in 1965 and for almost sixty years the customer has been at the heart of what we do.
We believe customer service is about how people feel when they interact with us and continuously looking for new ways to support customers. We treat each customer as a person and not a number. We’re thrilled to have achieved our accreditation as it reflects Hodge’s values and our people’s passion to deliver the best possible outcomes for our brokers and their customers.
The results from the ICS were incredible, with customers and brokers rating us among the very best service organisations in the UK. Following 33 random staff interviews, the ICS assessor was particularly impressed with our people’s passion towards Hodge, our customers and our culture.
Jo Causon, CEO, Institute of Customer Service.
“A huge congratulations to everyone at Hodge for achieving ServiceMark accreditation, it requires a consistent focus on the customer and a clearly articulated service strategy that is understood across the business. It indicates that Hodge employees understand how great customer service is directly linked to the company’s success and that their individual actions make a big difference. They’re looking at different aspects of the business through their customers’ eyes – aligning want they do with the customer in the mind. It is great to see Hodge’s reptation being enhanced with this achievement, as they continue to build on their service proposition to deliver great customer outcomes.”
