Testimonial

After our previous insurer refused to cover a commercial property we had recently refurbished, we had to look at other options.

Following a recommendation from IMDA member, we contacted Andrew Ellis from Flectcher Smith Insurance Brokers. Andrew came and carried out a site assessment on both of our properties. We sat down and went through a detailed audit to make sure all needs and demands were accurately met.

The quote fell well within our expected renewal budget! A real positive for me is the confidence I have in the broker and insurance company knowing our business inside out.
