About Us

As one of Nottingham’s leading commercial insurance brokers we have been providing expert insurance advice on an impartial basis for over 25 years for both our corporate and private clients.  The reputation and professional standing built up over those years means that our clients can be confident in the knowledge that their arrangements are entrusted to a quality insurance broker who has the experience and abilities to provide secure comprehensive insurance protection coupled with the broking skills to negotiate the most competitive premiums.

Based on the outskirts of Nottingham, the company was formed in 1982 and our portfolio of clients embrace businesses of all classes and sizes including publicly quoted companies.  We offer significant insurance buying power through our membership of the highly respected Willis Commercial Network.

“We are proud to thrive on recommendation from our existing client base” – This can only be achieved by being a customer-focused company who offers the best possible service to its clients.

As one of a relatively few number of independent brokers who have a dedicated claims department, we have developed strong relationships with insurer claims teams and loss adjustors alike.  By creating such relationships we put ourselves in the very best possible position to aid negotiation of speedy, equitable claims settlements for our clients.

As an independent firm we guarantee that our client’s best interest will always be our main priority.
