Welcome to this review of RECC’s activities in 2020!

I hope you will find the information in the Annual Review interesting and useful. This report describes the huge body of work that RECC carried out during the year, under very difficult circumstances owing to the COVID-19 restrictions in place.

My thanks go to all our members who have supported us throughout the year. We couldn't have done any of it without you! My thanks also go to the RECC team members who have worked tirelessly throughout.

In the report you will find our activities broken down into sections including: promoting the code, benefits of membership, overview of members, enforcing compliance and resolving consumer complaints.
