Dispute resolution schemes

Independent dispute resolution schemes reassure customers

Your business might not always get it right or have the skills in-house to manage complaints and disputes effectively. We can provide your customers somewhere independent to go if something doesn’t go to plan. 

About

Some industries or professions must offer independent dispute resolution schemes to give customers confidence in their commitment to consumer satisfaction, and meet their industries’ regulations. 

However, offering an independent dispute resolution scheme is great for any businesses’ reputation, even if not required. Customers feel more secure using your services knowing you’re committed to your customers and your products. They also know that specialist help is available if required.

At Fair Way, we’re the experts in dispute resolution. It’s in our name, as ‘kia tau’ means ‘to settle, to resolve, to calm’.

We have vast experience doing so across a range of industries, including the building and construction, financial, education and telecommunications sectors. So, talk to us about how we can meet your business’ – and your customers’ – dispute resolution needs.
