Knowledgable and experienced

We are proud of the fact that our renewal retention is exceedingly high due to competitive premiums and high standards in service.


Speedy service
New clients of ours are delighted to find a fast and friendly insurance specialist. Difficult to place insurance enquires or complex risks do naturally take longer but we will always estimate realistic response times and expectations.

Full use is made of the latest technology where possible, or good, old-fashioned expert negotiation with the best underwriters available, when human interaction is required.
