Many thanks

Many thanks for another very smooth PI renewal. You have always given me a reminder in plenty of time to complete the necessary paperwork to obtain a quotations, and I always receive the quote well in advance of the renewal date. The premiums have been consistently low and it is reassuring to know that Brunel Professions specialise in PI.

This company values Brunel as our brokers

Let me take the opportunity to say how much this company values Brunel as our brokers; and your help in particular with the wording of our appointments which, as we both know only too well, has become increasingly onerous in this profession in recent years. My best regards to Dylan and to all those I have dealt with in Brunel. Thank you again.

Extremely professional

Brunel Professions have dealt with our Professional Indemnity requirements for the last couple of years and we have found them to be extremely professional, expeditious in what they do and approachable, proactively offering advice in how to complete the proposal forms in order to obtain the most competitive quotes and importantly obtaining quotes far in advance of the October 1st deadline to ensure that everything has been in place early to avoid panic. We have been offered free training to improve our risk control and advice when we have needed it has always been readily available. A top service all round.

Support & advice

I have to say I have been extremely impressed with the diligent way that you have looked after me and whilst there have never been any Claims, the support and advice that you have given me over the years has been excellent, and should there be an occasion to give a recommendation for your Company, it would be given. This is indeed great news. I do not need to tell you just how traumatic the events of the last three months have been for me & my staff.Ê I also wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your efforts on my behalf (& that of my staff) and for sticking with me over the last few weeks, when others have walked away – this is much appreciated.

Impressed by proactive approach

It was a hard decision for us to make as our holding brokers came in with a quotation slightly more and we do have a connection. However, I think meeting the Underwriter with yourself and being able to discuss things with you both was very helpful and we have been impressed by your proactive approach.

Thank you for your enourmous efforts

I am going on leave from today until the New Year, and just wanted to thank you for your enormous efforts in helping us this year. This comes from the whole Partnership, and in particular from myself and Nikki. I know that without your help we would have been in a very different place, with a great deal more PI cases and much higher levels of stress. Personally I would like to thank you for always being prepared to give me the time to talk through situations and circumstances, and I am extremely grateful for the patience you have shown.

As I said over the phone, I am thrilled with the service you provided, always delivering what you promised, keeping contact, super-efficient and always with a smile É in spite of me always being so late in replying.

I am very happy to confirm that the service which you have provided has been excellent and the whole process of changing my PI cover across to Brunel has been as trouble free as I could possibly have hoped that it might be. The help and advice given throughout the process has been very much appreciated and the cost of the cover was as competitive as I could have wished for.

A great deal of professionalism

I ascertained from Dylan Hughes what information he would normally require from a firm and realised that much of the information that he required to see had never been requested from me by my previous broker. In my conversations with Dylan I sensed a greater deal of professionalism and decided that I wanted him to act on my behalf exclusively.

100% professional at all times

The service which you provide is 100% professional at all times, and you always focus on putting the client first. You are willing to go the extra mile when required to look after the interests of your clients and at the same time are always fair and open minded with QBE/Insurers when views may differ. It is a pleasure working with you and makes life easier as you know what you are doing, completely on top of things, and fully understand the needs of your clients.

Very informative and helpful

Thanks for this. Further to our telephone conversation, I just wanted to mention how happy both Sheila and myself have been with dealings with you. We have found both you and insurers to be informative and helpful throughout and long may that continue. It is certainly much more professional and helpful than dealings with previous firms.

Trust and understanding

We moved our corporate PI Insurance business to Brunel after some years of searching for a broker who would not despair that we are not only not an easy risk to place, – we carry out inspection work typically on high value structures, and perceived high risk structures and properties around the globe, and as an international Group need cover in all territories worldwide, but would also be comfortable that they could place business as carry out our inspections using instruments and techniques that are not well known. Brunel handled this simply, by the taking the unusual step of placing us in direct conversation with Underwriters, under the guidance of Sue Cooper who has handled our account, so that we and they would reach a common understanding of the nature of the risks, and the information need to value the risk. This has controlled and contained the previously mounting cost of achieving adequate cover for our operations in both Europe and the Americas. Although the market is hard to gauge, my impression is that we achieved savings Sue organisation of the order of at least 25 -30%. We have developed a trust and understanding which I expect will serve our Group well in the future. Their back room service is equally slick and efficient, and they have handled not only our account, but also the only claim we have made in 35 or so years of trading, with the same slick efficiency as their brokerage, minimising sweat for me and cost for the insurers.

Very impressed at the speed of service

Having stayed with one Broker for over ten years, this year I was advised that the premium had increased fourfold, and without claim or even notification of any issue. I was told that this was the minimum premium for the company. More disappointingly I found that what I believed was a big Broker only dealt with a restricted number of Insurance Companies, and all were in the same price range Ð or more. I luckily was forced to look around. I was greatly relieved therefore to obtain the much more reasonable quotation via yourselves and very impressed at the speed of service. Many thanks.

Thanks very much indeed

We had a lengthy session with XXXX yesterday evening who were shocked to receive the news that our cover had been placed with Brunel for our pi. They could not believe that the policy that you have found, and claimed that they had also spoken to our new insurers! They were even more bowled over to hear that other providers had also provided terms, and again advised that they had been to see the others as well! Once again thanks very much indeed for your help this week, it is greatly appreciated.

Prompt and efficient service

Dear Sirs, I must express my gratitude for your prompt and efficient service regarding my PI insurance. I sent a copy of my normal renewal form to you on Thursday – by Friday evening you had saved me over a third of the premiums I was paying through my previous Broker, provided new cover and I had received useful advice re future possibilities. I am most impressed by the level of service and would not hesitate to recommend you to others seeking advice re PI insurance.

No hesitation in recommending Brunel

I would like to place on record our sincere thanks for the assistance provided during renewal of our PI insurance. From initial contact to completion of documentation the professional approach to any and all queries coupled with a “customer first” ethos shines through. Senior Account Broker, James Page and all the Brunel team provided accurate, timely information necessary to allow informed decision making while demonstrating a real understanding of our professional services of the like not experienced from other brokers. We also had a number of options placed before us with guidance provided every step of the way. We have no hesitation in recommending Brunel Professional Risks.

Clearly understood our sector needs

Having decided to test the market after a long period with the same Professional Indemnity Insurance Brokers we elected to place our requirements with Brunel Professions. The decision was made, not merely on cost, but on the quality of the discussions we had with James Page, Senior Account broker, who clearly understood our sector needs, the promptness and thoroughness of response to our queries and a willingness to clarify detail in the proposal. Since placing our PII with through Brunel the quality of service has remained at the high level experienced I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
