HOW TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO TESCO

To file a complaint with Tesco, please make a call to its main customer service lines at either 0800 50 5555 or 0330 123 4055. Keep in mind that Tesco deals with thousands of calls a day, so be prepared to be greeted by an automated answering service and be placed on hold for an extended period of time (especially during peak hours). To cut on your waiting time, it would be advisable to call the relevant department directly using the numbers listed on the top of this page.

However, before making the call, please note down all the relevant details concerning your complaint so you will not missed out on anything later. Keep your receipt close by as well so you will not have to scramble around looking for it in the middle of a call. Always note down the name of the person you are speaking to and the time of the call. This will be useful if you decide to escalate the complaint. In such an instance, write a brief letter detailing the failure of service and subsequent actions taken by Tesco’s customer service representatives, and send it to Tesco Customer Services, Freepost SCO2298, Dundee, DD1 9NF. Remember to include a copy of the receipt and any photographs (if any) to support your case.

HISTORY OF TESCO

Tesco was founded by former Royal Flying Corps airman Sir John Edward Cohen in 1919, 1924 or 1929 – depending on how you see it. After leaving the RC, the Londoner started a retailing business in 1919 at a roadside stall in East End. He primarily sold surplus groceries which he purchased in bulk. In 1924, Sir Cohen began to sell his own line of teas under the brand of Tesco (which is an amalgam of the name of his tea supplier, TE Stockwell (TES), and his own (CO). Sir Cohen opened the first store under the brand name of Tesco in 1929 in in Burnt Oak in north London.
Tesco grew rapidly and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1947 for 25p a share. Over the next decade and a half, Tesco went on a buying spree and bought over 500 stores, including all 212 branches of Irwin stores. Over the next several decades, it would go on to achieve many firsts in the industry, including the first stamp, superstore and computerised checkouts.
Today, Tesco has grown to become the third largest retailer in the world with presence in 11 countries. Tesco owns 6,902 stores around the world and employs over 476,000 people (equivalent to the population of Liverpool). With almost 300,000 employees in UK alone, Tesco is the biggest private sector employee in the country. In 2015, Tesco recorded revenues of £48.4 billion, which is larger than the annual GDP of countries like Uruguay, Croatia and Jordan.
