  • Our credit hire department has a close working relationship with DAC Beachcroft. We are pleased with their work and had very good results.

  • DACB have a lot of valuable experience and often they will know things that we as a team don’t know. They are very keen to always work collaboratively and that is one of the attributes that I have always been keen on. I feel with DACB that they are always trying to help you out and to help you deal with your claims in the best way possible.

  • For me, the strengths of DACB are their people and the longstanding nature of the relationship with us. They have some really great people, but it goes beyond that. It is not just having nice people, the substance is also there in the tangible results and the financials, which they do deliver on.
