The focus of the work to create and maintain the high quality of the Britannia website was to ensure that www.britannia.co.uk is available to as many people as possible, including those with disabilities, such as visually impairment.
Linda Mellor, website manager at Britannia, said: "This survey has been a great tool in terms of highlighting the areas where we needed to improve performance for our customers, and I'm delighted that Britannia's website has undergone this rigorous test, and has come out on top. The real winners are of course, the customers."
