Complaints & Commendations

We are committed to providing a high quality service at all times. We know that from time to time things will go wrong and if so, we need you to tell us about it. This will help us to improve our service and we are always open to feedback.

How to complain

Should you have any reasons whatsoever to be unhappy then please raise your concerns with the individual who has been dealing with the matter or their manager, or email contactus@swib.co.uk. If you remain dissatisfied, you can write to the Compliance Director at our Twickenham office or by calling 0330 008 5555. 

If the matter is resolved within 3 business days, we will write to you to confirm this.  If it cannot, we will seek to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and keep you informed of progress. If we cannot agree a solution between us, we will explain why. We will confirm our final response to any complaint within eight weeks of your complaint.

Complaints against insurers

If you have a complaint against your insurer, your policy documentation will set out the procedure that you should follow. However, we will assist you if required. If your policy is held through Lloyd’s of London (for example Equity Red Star or Amlin Underwriting Ltd), you are also entitled to refer the matter to Lloyd’s. 

Lloyd’s will then conduct a full investigation of your complaint and provide you with a written final response.

Post: Complaints, Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA

Details of Lloyd’s complaints procedures are set out in a leaflet “Your Complaint – How We Can Help” available at www.lloyds.com/complaints and are also available from the above address.
