At Baker Brothers, our aim is to provide all our customers with exceptional service and create memories to last a lifetime.

Should you wish to lodge a complaint with us, outlined below is our procedure and the steps to follow.

Our Process

• All complaints will be acknowledged within 24 hours, or 48 hours over Bank Holiday and Christmas periods, by our Boutique Manager or a senior member of the team.
• We will aim to resolve any complaint within 28 days or, if this timeframe is not sufficient, we pledge to keep the client informed of the progress of any resolution and give realistic timeframes of such resolution.
