- Provide the most appropriate insurance based solution to their needs.
- Explain the detail of the solution to them in clear and understandable language.
- Arrange contracts for them with financially secure product providers
- Arrange contracts for them at competitive prices.
- Provide an efficient 'after sales' service particularly with regard to the administration and settlement of claims.
- Allow easy access to the Directors should it be necessary to complain about any aspect of our service.
- Deposit all money held on behalf of clients in a Client Trust account
- To maintain an adequate number of technically competent and client focused personnel thereby ensuring our high standards of service.
- Have arrangements with a large panel of product providers in order to provide, where appropriate, a whole of market capability and to have this firm held in high esteem with them.
- Subscribe fully to third party scrutiny. Whilst our industry is now compulsory regulated (by the Financial Services Authority) this firm became voluntarily regulated by the IBRC from its inception. We attained corporate Chartered Insurance Broker* status in June 2007 and were one of the first firms to achieve this.
