First and foremost you need to understand that we work for you – not the Insurers. Our objectives for any client are: –Help you identify areas of ‘risk’ to you and your business.
To provide advice on measures that may help you reduce those ‘risks’ and where appropriate to arrange a suitable Insurance policy (with a reputable insurer) at the best possible price. Finally, and most importantly – should an accident or loss occur to be there by your side to ensure that claims are dealt with as efficiently as possible.
Sounds simple – but it’s not! No two clients are the same – there is always something unusual that has to be considered. There are also various Insurers, from household names to specialist schemes to obscure insurers based in far away countries all with their own policy wordings and small print. We as your Insurance Broker have many years experience in knowing how our industry works – which Insurers offer good or poor service. It’s not all about cost but the best value for money.Working Hours :Monday - Friday, 9.00am - 5.00pmSkills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Administrative skills,Number skills,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Non judgemental,Patience....Read more...
