Many of our experienced team have been raised and worked in the North West for many years, particularly Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside, which means we have a strong knowledge of the diverse businesses in the region and risks they encounter.
By putting the customer first our team work to understand our client’s needs and challenges to build insurance programmes which not only meet their legal and business requirements but which go much further. We provide tailored and practical risk management guidance with the ultimate purpose to create a sustainable and resilient business for our clients and ultimately provide longevity to help reduce insurance premium costs.
Our people are an established, stable and therefore experienced workforce with a comprehensive understanding of the larger companies within the area; this is demonstrated by our long-standing and close relationships with all the large local independent brokers.
We are proud to service our customers across the UK with professionalism and integrity, putting them at the heart of our business.
Through our team of local experts we have built a client base which has some of the largest accounts outside of London, which includes Property Owners, Fleet and Construction. We also manage the accounts for the members of Willis Towers Watson Network for England & Wales.
Our teams are also experts in writing Motor Trade, Corporate and SME business.
We work collaboratively with colleagues across AXA Group including AXA XL, AXA PPP(Healthcare and Wellbeing) and AXA Personal Lines. This means we can truly give customers an insurance offering which stretches the breadth of their business.
