"Relationship insuring" it's what we do...
Putting the needs and wishes of the client at the centre of our work has developed a culture where the detail given to customer care is so prolific that it is our reputation which brings new businesses to join our clientele.
The business sees itself in partnership with its clientele – bringing together a deep knowledge of the client’s business with our own market research and industry expertise. More than any other provider, we believe in ‘relationship insuring’. We will never have a touch-tone telephone system.

Understandably, there is no ‘one fits all’ when it comes to business insurance, and quite rightly so. Your business requires insurance that will directly help your business in it’s time of need, which will also impact the types of policies required.
Over the last 30 years, we’ve seen our clientele’s developing need for professionalism; expertise and personal attention grow ever greater. Running a business gets more complex, risky, regulated and litigious by the day.
Public Liability
"I just left the blow torch on for a moment whilst I took the phone call..."
Employer's Liability
"It's not about who pays who, it's about who told you to do that..."
Product Liability
"Not everyone automatically realises you can't dry your pet in the microwave..."
Commercial Property
"On the morning after the fire, no one gives a toss about how much you paid for your premium..."
Business Interruption
"When the water came up to our knees we realised we might be a problem..."
Cyber & Commercial
"A ransom email, no access to anything and my clients need help...now what?"
Terrorism
"It wasn't until everyone was running past me that I realised what was going on..."
How we do things...
Above all, the business develops its competitive advantages through the dedication of its team, career development, continuous learning, deepening knowledge and specific industry expertise.
We have a continuous commitment to product development, and an ongoing commitment to improving efficiency across the business, so that our team can dedicate their energy to providing first class client solutions. We also have an imaginative and quality professional ‘in-house’ marketing and public relations division to promote our message to the business community.
