We first appointed [Partners&] in 2010 to benchmark our insurances against our multinational broker. The savings made were such that it was decided to move the company’s business across [to Partners&] that year. Since then, our relationship has grown, and we have been assisted in the settlement of a complex claim made against the company to the full satisfaction of the board of directors. We have been impressed with their personal service and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.
[Partners&] has looked after the insurance policies we have as a company (and also personal policies for our Chairman) for many years. As a PR company we often have odd requests for insurance of various stunts etc., they have taken the time to get to know our business, ensuring that we have adequate cover at all times. Finally, they are a friendly and efficient team who are always a pleasure to speak to. They provide an excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services for all insurance needs.
