In the nine years since its inception, Allianz Trade’ UK Customer Line has dealt with more than half a million calls and a quarter of a million emails – with an average 22 second wait time to speak to an advisor and an email turnaround of less than a day.
Starting life as a team of four (Nick, Sophie, Sue and Tina), the Customer Line has grown to a staff of 11, with three of the original members still part of the team, sharing their expertise with customers, partners and new team members.
Growing the team and responding to the changing needs of customers and partners, the Customer Line’s focus remains that of being the ‘voice of the customer’ by making the customer experience as effortless and positive as possible.
