Customer Service Policy
The Victoria Shopping Centre wants to put our customers at the top of its agenda. This customer service policy sets out what this commitment means in practice. What our customers can expect from us and what we expect of our customers.
Our customer service policy makes clear the centre's commitment to provide an excellent service to our customers. Key to achieving that vision is a good relationship with our customers.
