Aviva has received the Premium Brand certificate and the Customer Friendly Company award.

Aviva has received the Premium Brand certificate and the Customer Friendly Company award.

The Aviva brand, which has been operating in Poland for a year now, has been named one of 21 Premium Brands. Polish customers have been familiar with a lot of these brands for many years, such as Danone or PKO Bank Polski. The Premium Brand certificate is awarded based on independent consumer research carried out by Millward Brown SMG/KRC. The results were announced on 16 June.

The "Customer Friendly Company" award is given out by the Management Observatory Foundation following an independent audit. This assesses the customer service procedures and tools used and evaluates customer service at Aviva branches and the results of a customer satisfaction survey. Aviva is the first insurance and investment company to receive this award.

"These prizes show that we are keeping our promises to our customers. We treat them as individuals - we respect who they are and what they need, and they value the knowledge of our advisers and the quality of our services. Aviva's awards also demonstrate the success and effectiveness of our rebranding campaign which started last year. It was extremely important to integrate the customer service departments before introducing the Aviva brand, to simplify procedures and to ensure faster payment of compensation," says Dominika Kraśko-Białek, vice-president of the Aviva group in Poland.
