“We were previously using an inhouse department to manage debt recovery prior to engaging with Flint Bishop.  Following the results of an initial benchmarking trial, we decided to use Flint Bishop as our sole debt recovery supplier for the UK as collections have not only increased, but in a very cost-effective manner.

The amount of debt cases progressing to litigation in order to recover has also dropped significantly as a result of Flint Bishop’s intensive pre-litigation strategy.

The team deliver a fantastic service and their reporting capabilities and data analytics packs provide me with extremely useful M.I.”

Their SME-focused approach combined with specialist legal recovery strategy has delivered an uplift in our recoveries and been fundamental in their service delivery success on our customer accounts. I would recommend their debt recovery service to other organisations looking to engage with a supplier who can support and enhance their collections processes.”

“As a listed company we had our panel of City firms.  I was surprised when someone suggested a Derby firm and was concerned that they might not have the resources to handle a project of this size and complexity, but Flint Bishop’s performance and service has definitely changed my view.  The sums recovered by Flint Bishop for Southern Cross have surpassed all expectations.”
