SKIPTON GUERNSEY SAYS THANK YOU TO CUSTOMERS!
It's always nice to be able to tell your friends and family when you have found a good mortgage or home for your savings, but wouldn't it be better still if you were thanked in some way?
Now Skipton Guernsey Limited (SGL) is saying ‘thank you' to customers with its new ‘Recommend a Friend' offer – designed as a reward for existing customers telling someone they know about the company's products and services.
The SGL ‘Recommend a Friend' offer is simplicity itself - SGL will give customers a free gift (subject to the scheme rules) each time they recommend a friend or relative who opens an investment account or takes out a mortgage with them.
Customers can choose one from the following great gift ideas each time they recommend somebody new to SGL:
- A £35 contribution to the Mines Awareness Trust, a Guernsey-based charity dedicated to clearing landmines throughout the world*
- A voucher worth £30, redeemable at Marks & Spencer
- A luxury bouquet of beautiful Guernsey freesias, which can be delivered to UK and Channel Island addresses.

With a choice from three gifts, SGL is confident that existing customers who recommend a friend will find something for themselves , or something to share with someone special.
