Graham’s experience of national markets brings a firm ability to broker complex placements into a diverse range of insurance providers and as the Corporate Services Director Graham works closely with our key client’s to ensure they receive a bespoke service and excellent day-to-day support.
"We have dedicated loss adjusters and risk engineers/surveyors who are available to us 24/7 and, in case of Employers' Liability claims, there is an early dialogue to agree the best course of action in respect of defensibility or, in some cases, an agreement to the Liability claim."
Belfield Group
"When large/complex claims occur, Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions (SRIS) are right alongside us. This was typified when a significant fire affected one of our sites several years ago. The business interruption claim alone totalled several million pounds but SRIS settled the claim within a 2-month period, meaning the impact on our business was minimised and flexibility retained."
Belfield Group
“We were with the same insurer that we were before, but the service is better because of the broker. In addition, when we appointed Specialist Risk Insurance Solutions we were already in a long-term agreement with the insurer, but they were able to renegotiate the agreement and provided us with considerable cost savings.”
