Broker TESTIMONIALS

We have a long history of writing schemes business. Let’s hear from our brokers:

"As a business we were looking to diversify our relationships to support our continued growth in the United Kingdom. From our initial meeting with Michael Buse, Schemes Underwriting Manager we knew NIG was the right choice.

The attention to detail and client focussed attitude reflected our company culture and we couldn’t wait to get going! The NIG team more than lived up to the commitments they told us at the start of our on-boarding journey and were only a phone call away whenever we needed any help.

We are excited to be working with NIG and are very much looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership!"

SPORTSCOVER Europe Broker Arena

"We have had a delegated property owners scheme with NIG since 2004, during which time we have worked closely with them on the policy wording and cover to ensure we are able to offer our clients something different to the standard. We have expanded our footprint from having schemes for specific geographical areas to a much broader nationwide footprint.

We have a very close working relationship with both our business development manager and the schemes manager who take time to understand our business. Our relationship has been built on mutual trust and respect in which we can be open and honest with one another."
