What our clients say
“Our broker has arranged all aspects of our insurances for over six years and we have always been happy with the service. Their communication is excellent. They have always taken the time to highlight some of the conditions in our contractor’s policy in particular, which if not adhered to, have the potential to effect claims. We appreciate their direct, straightforward yet professional approach. They have become our valued business partner.”
Director, sport surfaces construction company.
“I have found my account director and his colleagues to be most helpful whenever I have needed their help. Their professionalism and customer service skills are impeccable. Whenever I make any requests their speed to respond is fantastic. Nothing is too difficult, nothing is too much to ask, they are there all the time, even out of hours should the going get tough. Their dedication to their role is truly commendable. I would highly recommend them.”
Director, residential block property management company.
“The advice we have received from them has been invaluable; they have consistently challenged and reviewed our insurance programme to ensure it remains fit for purpose. We were exhibiting when we had an accident with the gazebo, causing damage to the surrounding exhibitors. The in-house claims department sorted all aspects of the claim out without us even having to chase for information.”
Director, specialist engineering company.
