Debt Management Strategies
Balancing Dignity and Financial Health: 
How Leverton & Sons Ltd Strengthened Operations Through Strategic Debt Management

 

Leverton & Sons Ltd is an esteemed independent, family-run firm of funeral directors based in Camden, London. Founded in 1789, the company boasts a rich history spanning over 200 years, during which it has established itself as a leading provider of funeral services. Leverton & Sons is distinguished not only by its longevity but also by its role as the current funeral directors to the Royal Household. The firm manages approximately 1,000 funerals annually, with notable past clients including George Orwell and Margaret Thatcher.

Their mission is to achieve the complete trust of their clients by demonstrating professional skills and knowledge, meeting individual needs, and exceeding expectations. Building strong relationships with suppliers enhances the firm's ability to meet deadlines and maintain high standards.

The challenge
While Leverton & Sons excels in providing dignified funeral services, the company faced challenges in managing debt collection. Given the sensitive nature of their work, they required a delicate approach to financial matters, ensuring clients were treated with respect and empathy in debt-related communications. They required a debt collection partner who understood the funeral profession's unique demands and could operate effectively within this context.

Our approach
We developed a tailored solution, combining our Collections and Redwood Credit Management services to reflect the care and professionalism their clients expect.

Our approach prioritised empathy and discretion at every stage, ensuring all communication was handled with respect. Throughout the process, we maintained full transparency, keeping Leverton & Sons informed on progress and outcomes at all times.

Outcome
By aligning our methods with the company’s values, we ensured all debt collection activities were conducted with the highest standards of dignity and respect, allowing Leverton & Sons to focus on their core mission of providing exceptional funeral services. We've helped to strengthen their financial operations, ensuring sustainability and the ability to continue serving clients with integrity. 

We have been using the professional services of Redwood Collections to deal with our debt collection matters for the last 4 years. 

 

We continue to find them to be excellent, pro-active and productive and they have continually kept us informed on the progress they are making with the debtors.

 

As they look after our funeral director clients, they are aware of the delicate nature of debt collection in our profession and we have no hesitation in recommending them to our fellow professionals.
