Why Choose Us?

We have access to many different insurance policies and, because we deal with a range of insurance companies directly, we sometimes have access to policies that are not available to most consumers. Our brokers can help you understand the details of a policy and also work out what level of cover you need, so that you can make sure you are properly protected.

We can prepare a customised insurance and risk management program for you or your business, where we design the policies, negotiate the terms with insurance companies and place the cover with the insurer. By including a risk management program, which puts some of the responsibility for risk prevention and loss minimisation on you or your business, you can reduce premium costs. If you need to make a claim on your policy, our broker will assist you through the process and will liaise with the insurer on your behalf.
