Between James Hallam and Chubb I have had my faith restored in the insurance world. Without putting too fine a detail on it we suffered a Fidelity loss as a consequence of a rogue employee. With the diligent guidance of our Brokers and appointed Adjuster we simply and successfully navigated the claims process and James Hallam mitigated the pain and upset with bewildering efficiency in swiftly resolving the financial impact that blind-sided us at the time. Suffering such a loss was upsetting enough so the professional and supportive manner by which we were guided through the process proved the worth of an intelligent and customer-focussed intermediary.
Thanks to Vito and the team also for their help and subsequent consultancy mitigating exposure to future risk from the lessons learned and, thank you for recommending Chubb and Fidelity Guarantee cover in the first instance.

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.
