Five years ago, my team and I decided we wanted to do things a different way, a better way. With over 25 years’ experience in construction insurance, we felt like if anyone knew what our brokers and their clients wanted and needed from a comprehensive policy offering, it was us.

And so we challenged ourselves to develop our own unique policy wording – one that’s easy to understand and would set us apart from the competition. Based on our combined breadth and depth of knowledge across the construction marketplace, we believe the result is one of the most comprehensive on the market and includes added extras as standard for your construction clients.

Today, it’s a policy wording that we’re extremely proud of and, backed by A-rated capacity, we’re confident it can give the widest cover as standard to our mutual clients. However, that’s only the start of what we believe differentiates us as underwriters.

Our team is dedicated to working closely with brokers, lending our advice and expertise to help you win and retain business. One of the ways we do this is by helping you understand what good quality data capture and a thorough market presentation should include. This way you will be sure of always securing our best possible terms and not having to return to your client for more information. Simple, perhaps, but compelling? Absolutely.

We do this because we believe that’s where the true value lies, in creating long-lasting partnerships that are built on experience and trust. If you’re prepared to work with us, more often than not we will win together.

Our team has worked really hard to develop a brand that offers truly great service and strong underwriting disciplines, and that gives our partners the confidence to put their trust and their capacity with us.

After all, long term relationships are built on trust and with trust comes empowerment. It is this empowerment in our underwriters that allows us to continue giving customers a first class service, something we are told is a challenge and a frustration for many at the moment.

We want to be the go-to place for you and your construction clients. We pride ourselves on providing a premium product with a premium service, being agile and finding solutions for you and your clients. We will work closely with you so we can all achieve our goals.

Are your current partners offering the same?
