Mortimer Clarke Solicitors (MCS), the law firm in the Cabot Credit Management Group (CCM), a market leader in European Credit Management, was awarded the Best Legal Services Provider at the Collections & Customer Service Awards on 21 November in Manchester.
This is the second win in the space of a few weeks, as MCS were awarded a Credit Excellence Award in the Legal and Enforcement category in October.
Part of the awards submission included an overview of Big Ears, a customer satisfaction measurement tool which has been tailored to suit the needs of MCS and the Cabot Credit Management Group and was implemented at the end of 2017. It has provided invaluable feedback from the Group’s customers and enhanced working practices in all areas of the business. The award submissions emphasised that MCS genuinely want to make customers’ experience with them the best that it can be, and that this tool has been a very powerful way of achieving that.
Ken Stannard, Chief Executive Officer, CCM, commented, “We are delighted that Mortimer Clarke Solicitors has secured another award this year. They are leading the way in litigation recoveries combining innovative approaches through cutting edge technology and, as with the rest of our group, ensuring the customer is at the heart of their operation. It is great for this to be recognised in our industry.”
