“Hi Kim,

 

I’m so impressed with the speed of the 2 claims that I have had to make. Thank you so much for getting them paid out so quickly! 

 

We have 7 other properties-houses & bungalows that I shall transfer over to you when the existing policy runs out in July with my former broker, as they are far too slow, when I have had to claim anything. This will mean that your company will look after the insurances for all 27 properties.”

 

-       From a Property owning client, 23/12/2011.

 

 

“Dear Steve,

 

As 2011 draws to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect on the hours of hard work you committed to my business this year. The company was facing an uncertain outcome regarding the Bristol claim and your wealth of experience and persistence persuaded insurers to re-open and address the claim correctly. The result was that the insurers have indemnified us and our concentration can now return to running the business...” 

 

-       From a Commercial client, 15/12/2011.

 

 

“Colin

 

This is an excellent result. Thank you VERY much for your significant part in persuading our insurers to reverse their initial decision. It means a great deal to me personally as well as my fellow Directors and the Company as a whole....” 

 

-       From a client and one of the South West’s largest employers, 09/12/2011.

 

 

“ Steve

 

 Just seen Andy’s email – I am absolutely delighted. Thank you all so much for dealing with this on the Council’s behalf, it has taken a lot of stress out of what has become a very complex and difficult situation.

 

I will report this to Council at our meeting on Monday and can assure you this will be most welcome news!

 

Please pass my sincere thanks on to the team for their hard work and efforts in resolving this case.”
