Commercial law firm finds cheaper cover and peace of mind with Konsileo
“At the end of the day we got the same level of cover for thousands of pounds less than we’d been paying before – and someone we knew would be the other end of the phone or email whenever we needed them. You can’t ask for more than that.”
When Kathryn Shaw, a Director at Surrey-based law commercial law firm GBH Law, was looking to renew their insurance cover, she couldn’t get hold of her normal contact.
Time for a change
“We’d been with the same insurance broker for around 13 years,” explains Kathryn, “but they’d been bought by a bigger firm, and my first message bounced back telling me that my main point of contact had left the company. The person who dealt with the administration of our policy had also left and when I contacted his replacement, I was told that she was leaving the company the next day, and I was then passed on to someone else, who then didn’t contact me in a timely manner to move things forward.
Safe Hands
“I’m not a last minute sort of person, and I like to get all our insurance forms sorted out and sent off for consideration by the insurers well in advance of our renewal date. So I decided enough was enough and got in touch with Chris Cotterill from Konsileo.”
Chris is actually the husband of a GBH Law colleague, and he came to GBH Law’s offices soon after being contacted to meet Kathryn in person and to explain what he could do to support GBH Law.
“I immediately felt I was in safe hands,” says Kathryn. “Chris and I talked through what we had, what we needed, and what was coming up for us as a business. Having experienced the price of our policy going up and up by increasingly steep increments every year, Chris got us exactly the same cover from the same insurer – for £3,000 less than we paid last year. He also secured our excess insurance from alternative providers that was considerably cheaper. All-in-all we saved over £12,500 this year.
“More importantly, there’s no chasing around the houses trying to get in touch with Chris. When I’ve needed to check details or cover, for instance when we had some senior new starters join us, he’s come back to me almost instantly. He’s as organised as I am, so it’s a good fit.”
