Escalation route

If you feel SAU’s service is not up to standard, it asks you to send your compliment or complaint through the client care form on its contact page at saunderwriters.com/contact/. It does not publish a separate escalation phone line. Keep your policy details and any claim reference handy, and involve your broker, who placed the policy.
