We are brokers ourselves and a broker-to-broker relationship has the potential to be a tricky one for obvious reasons. Not so with the James Hallam Real Estate team. They are a great bunch to work with and are always respectful of our client relationships. They have an impressively wide access to the market and acute specialist Property knowledge which helps us to provide a superior broker service to our own clients. What sets them apart is how incredibly generous and honest they are with their advice and time. An easy-going and likeable team, we choose to work in partnership with them because not only are they very good at what they do but they are incredibly nice individuals to work with.

Marine Small Craft Division Manager
Brendon has worked in the insurance industry since 2013 when he started at a national brokers servicing private clients. Brendon then went onto work for a local broker in 2016 who specialised in marine insurance, predominantly small craft. Having lived near to the Fishing Port of Newlyn his whole life, Brendon grew up with a passion of the fishing industry and so the new role seemed a perfect fit due to the amount of fishing boats insured. This broker was acquired by James Hallam, the parent company of Everard in May 2021 and combining the knowledge of the two companies was fundamental in creating a new Small Craft Division which Brendon now heads up. His team will look for quotes on any vessel including private & pleasure, fishing, any other commercial, both in the UK and Internationally.
