If you’ve had the same insurance policies in place for a long time, there’s
a good chance that your circumstances are not the same as when the
policy was first taken out.
As part of our client service approach, we can handle the day-to-day
management of your insurance cover. This includes holding regular
review meetings to help make sure you continue to have the right level of
protection and recommending changes where necessary to account for
either new or emerging risks to your business.
It’s good practice to not only review your policy each year, but also when
there are changes in your regular circumstances.
