Member Benefits

 

DGCOS seeks to recruit the very best in the conservatory and double-glazing installation industries. As well as giving unprecedented safeguards to consumers the ombudsman scheme is hugely valuable to reliable and high-quality installers.

  • It differentiates you from companies which have given the industry a bad name, caused negative stories in the media and undermined consumer confidence.
  • Unlike trade associations – which are sometimes little more than labels – DGCOS gives your customers genuine peace of mind because of the unprecedented safeguards it offers them.
  • DGCOS helps protect you, as well as your customers, by substantially reducing the likelihood of litigation if things go wrong. Members have safeguards against aggressively litigious clients and, above all, with a powerful and independent arbiter who, if you are in the right, can adjudicate in your favour with the force of law.
  • DGCOS is an Ombudsman Scheme of a form that is strongly supported by consumer champions like Nick Ross and by consumer agencies and advocates, which is a powerful tool in marketing your business.
  • DGCOS has a marketing strategy of its own to inform the public of the protections now available, with direct links to members.
