The firm
Brokers, not an insurer's shop window
Kedworth & Quire has placed cover from the same office on Corve Street since 1974. Nine people, one switchboard, no call centre.
An independent intermediary places your risk across the market rather than filling one insurer's forms. In practice that means three things. Your renewal is re-broked every year, not rolled over. A risk that does not fit a standard wording goes to an underwriter who will look at it, rather than into an exclusion. And when a claim is argued, the person arguing it is not employed by the company paying it.
We are paid by commission from the insurer, and by a fee where a placing takes work a commission does not cover. Either way, the figure is disclosed before you sign. Ask, and it is in the letter.
Nine staff: four brokers, two claims handlers, an accounts clerk and two apprentices on the CII pathway. Every client has a named broker and that broker's direct line. Nobody here works to a call-handling target.
