Southern Cross Healthcare Group chairman Greg Gent said the award wins are testament to the group’s absolute focus on quality service.
“These awards are determined by Southern Cross’s most important judges – our customers – so it’s very pleasing to see our four insurance businesses winning either gold or silver,” he said.
AMI executive general manager Kevin Hughes commended the AMI team’s commitment to high-quality customer experiences.
“Knowing this award was voted for by Kiwis is humbling,” he said. “I’m so proud of our AMI team, congratulations to everyone whether they work with our customers through our network of stores, by phone or online.”
