Complaints procedure of Clenergy Ltd
Written complaints may be sent to Clenergy EV Ltd at Sony Manufacturing, Pencoed Technology Park, Bridgend, CF35 5HZ.
Receiving complaints
Complaints may arrive through channels publicised for that purpose.
Complaints received by telephone or in person need to be recorded.
The person who receives a phone or in person complaint should:
- Write down the facts of the complaint
- Take the complainants name, address and telephone number
- Note down the relationship of the complainant to Clenergy EV Ltd (for example a client)
- Tell the complainant that we have a complaints procedure
- Tell the complainant what will happen next and how long it will take
- Where appropriate, ask the complainant to send a written account by post or by email so that the complaint is recorded in the complainants own words
Resolving complaints
In many cases, a complaint is best resolved by the person responsible for the issue being complained about. If the complaint has been received by that person, they may be able to resolve it swiftly and should do so if possible and appropriate.
Whether or not the complaint has been resolved, the complaint information should be passed to Mr William David within one week.
On receiving the complaint, Mr William David records it in the complaints log. If it has not already been resolved, they delegate an appropriate person to investigate and to take appropriate action.
If the complaint relates to a specific person, they should be informed and given a fair opportunity to respond.
Complaints should be acknowledged by the person handling the complaint within one week. The acknowledgement should say who is dealing with the complaint and when the person complaining can expect a reply. A copy of this complaints procedure should be attached.
Ideally complaints should receive a definitive reply within four weeks. If this is not possible because for example an investigation has not been fully completed, a progress report should be sent with an indication of when a full reply will be given.
Whether the complaint is justified or not, the reply to the complainant should describe the action taken to investigate the complaint, the conclusions from the investigation and any action taken as a result of the complaint.
Variation of the complaints procedure
Clenergy EV Ltd may vary the procedure for good reason. This may be necessary to avoid a conflict of interest, for example, a complaint about the company director should not also have the company director as the person leading the investigation.
Monitoring and learning from complaints
Complaints are reviewed annually to identify any trends which may indicate a need to take further action.
