Bright Grey awarded Defaqto 5 Star Rating
Protection specialist Bright Grey has been awarded the maximum 5 star rating by independent financial research company Defaqto for its critical illness product for the second year
Defaqto described Bright Grey’s level and decreasing term critical illness cover as one of the best quality products in the market, with an excellent range of features and benefits and very high cover levels.
Ian Smart, Head of Product and Technical Development said:
“Achieving the maximum rating for the second year running is a huge achievement and a reflection of our continuing work to ensure Bright Grey’s products meet our customers’ changing needs and expectations.
“However, the element of our product that is designed to look after the non-financial needs of someone who suffers a critical illness, our Helping Hand service isn’t really fully evaluated. Helping Hand really differentiates our product from the rest of the market and in that respect maybe Defaqto should introduce ‘5 star+’ ratings.”
