Firstly Danielle who I eventually dealt with was fantastic.
Secondly the time it took to get to Danielle was unacceptable, I applied to speak to cavendish via the Halifax since June 2025 that could have cost your business rhe sale.

If you need life cover of any sort I highly recommend Cavendish Online
Arranging this cover was only as complicated as it needed to be, clearly explained, breaks taken to collect/ add needed data/facts, no duplication, previous sessions info was always in place, very effective. Marc was very helpful in describing the choices until I ended up with the right product.

Cavendish helped me to find the life cover I needed
My Cavendish contact, Kate, was polite, instructive and helpful throughout our series of interactions. If I had any questions or concerns she speedily dealt with them. She was also extremely punctual!

How can I rate a service I haven’t applied for, from a company I have never been in contact with until they sent me an email about my ‘new policy’, followed by another email about my ‘new policy’, followed by a ‘sorry we sent the email in error’ followed by a request to ‘rate their service’ 😳

I was incorrectly emailed as an existing customer, which I am not. I phoned and was told that I had been emailed in error. I said this was a data protection concern and I was assured that I would receive a email explaining what had happened. I said I really should have received an email as soon as they were aware. It is now three weeks and no explanation. A very unprofessional approach.
