Testimonials
“Having McClarrons as our insurance broker for the last few years, we have been extremely impressed with the detailed approach they take. Having such knowledgeable insurance specialists on hand, we are confident we have the right insurance in place. We have also seen the invaluable benefits of McClarrons’ claims team when unfortunately, we had to claim during the Boxing Day floods of 2015. The claims team went above and beyond to ensure we received the help and advice we needed in such a stressful time. We would recommend the team to anyone looking for insurance advice.”
“We have been with McClarrons since 2008 (previously Seekings & Wardle) and have developed a strong working relationship through their understanding of our business and the risks we face. The claims team at McClarrons handle our claims professionally and effectively, taking all the hassle off our hands allowing us to get on with our job. The service received from the team at McClarrons cannot be faulted and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.”
“We have worked with McClarrons for a number of years now. They are truly market leaders. They fully understand all our insurance requirements not just within the care sector. Our own dedicated Account Manager and the team are efficient and respond to any queries quickly. I fully recommend anyone to use McClarrons.”
“We have used McClarrons for several years following an insurance quote which was nearly half the quote of our previous insurance provider for our Liability Insurance, for the same product. Since then they have dealt with all our insurance needs. They are extremely helpful with our current insurance policies and have also recommended insurance which we needed, but did not previously have in place. The office is very efficient and always available to handle our queries and we do not hesitate to recommend them to other clients etc. who may be looking for insurance.”
“We have been with McClarrons for a number of years and have been extremely happy with the exceptional service provided. After conducting a thorough review of our insurances, McClarrons were able to improve our coverage and present us with a number of competitive options. They took us through each, explaining the differences so we could make a fully informed decision. If we had any problems our dedicated Account Executive has always been available, and the claims team have been extremely helpful. I would fully recommend McClarrons to anyone within the care and voluntary sector.”
“We first used McClarrons just over 3 years ago on one part of our insurance business. We were so impressed with the cover and service provided by them that we have since moved all our insurance business to them. We would not hesitate in recommending them to others in the horse racing industry.”
“We have been with McClarrons for a number of years and feel confident in the advice and cover provided. As well as this, when a hailstorm hit the yard and caused damage to both our stables and vehicles earlier in the year, the in-house claims team at McClarrons took all the hassle and worry out of the claim, dealing with it from start to finish allowing us to carry on with the day-to-day running of our business.”
“Su, thanks for your help, you were great as always. I wish other people were as helpful as you, it would make my job so much more easier.”
“For peace of mind, I would have no hesitation in recommending McClarrons. The service is second to none and they have tailored my insurance for various parts of the business, and have saved me money on areas where I have tended to over insure. I’ve dealt with Paul Brook at McClarrons for many years and if I have a problem, I just pick up the phone and it’s sorted. The office staff are very helpful and will go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. Not only do I receive good advice but the rates are competitive too.”
“We would definitely recommend McClarrons, the best, stress-free and knowledgeable option around. We have complete confidence and trust that you understood the business and that you would get us accurate cover. Really great service, thank you.“
“We have been members of the McClarrons family for more than four years and during that time have found them to be completely professional, knowledgeable, thorough and extremely easy to deal with. As a charity with needs which can often be complex, it is reassuring to know that any question we have will be answered – and answered promptly. In addition, they have managed to make savings for us, meaning we can use that money to provide even more support for our members.”
“Stephen and the team are both professional and personal and understand the requirements for an Estate, reassuring me that we and our tenants secure the best possible cover and premiums.”
“Since our domiciliary care company was incorporated in 2000 we had always used the same Insurance Broker and decided the time was right to ‘shop around’ to ensure we were getting the best cover and value for money. From our initial enquiry with McClarrons to actually finalising the deal we were very impressed by their knowledge of the care sector, their attention to detail and their professionalism – the fact that our premium was also substantially reduced considering our overall coverage was improved was very much appreciated.”
“We’ve worked with McClarrons since we started trading. Having tried a number of so-called care sector firms in this field, McClarrons was the only company to truly understand our bespoke business. Within the same day we had identified and selected which insurer to work with and were very happy with our subsequent quotation and coverage. We have access to our own dedicated Account Executive and Handler and any queries are responded to exceptionally quickly. If you’re looking for a broker with knowledge of the care sector, which is prepared to spend the time to fully understand you and your company’s needs, then we fully recommend McClarrons!”
“McClarrons have really taken the time to understand the charitable sector and the kind of issues and insurance needs that we have. They have been extremely supportive in finding exactly the right insurance cover for our charity. The professionalism and friendliness of the team is excellent and they have been able to offer specialist knowledge and advice on specifics when we have required extra support.”
“McClarrons spent a lot of time getting to know our business and how we operate, enabling them to provide a very comprehensive insurance portfolio. We have found the level of expertise and advice offered to be exactly what we require and we are pleased with the level of service provided.”
“I have been working with McClarrons since 2018, with Jonathan as my main point of contact.
Initially, when I was deciding whether or not to change insurance companies, I requested Jonny to scrutinise my existing policy and provide feedback. Previously, I had never actually met anyone from the insurance company that I was using, and was left on my own to complete the fact find document.
Jonny met with me and we reviewed the insurances together. Through this process we discovered I had some items that weren’t insured. Jonny also recommended that I have my care home surveyed so that an insurable amount for the buildings could be established, as our care home is a listed building. He also spoke to me about my concerns and introduced me to policies that could address them. My previous broker had never discussed cyber or management liability policies with me but Jonny took to time to explain them while providing advice and support, without any pressure selling.
I knew after our meeting that there were issues with my insurance, and had confidence that McClarrons were the right broker for us. Every year, I sit with Jonny and we talk through changes to the businesses. Jonny also follows me on LinkedIn, so when I post about a new project he will give me a gentle prompt to have a catch up to make sure I am covered correctly. Whenever I have a query it is dealt with quickly and efficiently.
We have completed some joint training with the McClarrons team on various topics including Autism & Safeguarding. The training has been invaluable for us all to learn about each other’s businesses.
I highly recommend Jonny and his team at McClarrons, as they offer a first class service.”
“Having worked with McClarrons for a number of years through Darren Felgate, there was no hesitation in recommending them to my current employer, Murphy Utilities Limited. You will unquestionably find that the whole package McClarrons is able to offer, is one which is friendly, professional and competitive. The service has been further enhanced by the tailored approach of our Account Executive, Tom Frame, who takes a hands-on approach to managing our account. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of dealing with a large number of the McClarrons team and no matter who I have spoken to, their approach and service has always been first class. If you are ever in that unfortunate position of needing to make a claim, knowing that you have the support of McClarrons’ claims team, headed by Stuart Torrance, helps to make this daunting situation a far more manageable process. Put simply, McClarrons is a first class Company, supported by a first rate team.“
“We just wanted to say that we are very happy with the service you have provided us with. It was really easy to outline our requirements, and any questions we had were answered very quickly. Our new insurance premium is cheaper than what we were previously paying for a more comprehensive cover. We are impressed with the way you have helped us and would definitely recommend McClarrons.“
“We’ve used McClarrons for several years and have always been very impressed with their knowledge of the care and voluntary sector. As a community interest company, it’s vital we work with a broker who has a clear understanding of the voluntary sector. After a complete review of our insurances, McClarrons expanded our coverage as well as offering a saving when compared to our previous insurer. If we ever have an enquiry it is always handled professionally and turned around extremely quickly, it is great to work with a brokerage who truly practice what they preach in terms of customer service.”
“McClarrons have been our broker for almost 10 years, providing us with insurance cover for our property portfolio. Our requirements have grown and developed substantially over the years, which McClarrons have proactively adapted our insurances for accordingly. We have also utilised McClarrons’ claims team, who have always worked efficiently and gone above and beyond to provide us with an efficient settlement, and reduced the burden of us having to deal with insurers directly. I would not hesitate to recommend McClarrons to anyone looking for a brokerage that truly understands the needs of a property management company.”
“Neil and the McClarrons team were the perfect insurance broker for our business needs. SME business owners have to wear many hats, particularly as a business consulting in the care sector, with a nationwide reach. Neil totally understood that we needed the pressure of finding the right insurance taken away from us. He kept us informed on progress, communicating brilliantly and effectively what the options were at every stage, but without adding any stress to our working week.
We got a fantastic outcome in terms of cover for the specific business activity that we operate under. A great result and a fantastic service for any business owner to tap into.”
“We have just renewed our policies with McClarrons for our second year. Their advice is always sound and they reduced our premium significantly in the first year. During the renewal process, Jonathan took time to explain the pros and cons of each proposal which enabled us to get the right cover for a competitive price. Their customer service is exceptional and the whole team have always been very helpful and prompt in answering our queries and in helping to amend our cover as our business needs changed. I would fully recommend McClarrons.”
“We have used McClarrons for a number of years. At the outset McClarrons made considerable savings in premiums with much improved cover having taken the time to understand our business. They have continued to provide a first class service. Following a recent large flood claim in excess of £1m, McClarrons attended each site meeting with the adjusters and this resulted in the early return to business at this location and full settlement of our losses.”
“As longstanding customers of McClarrons, the team continue to identify and solve a range of complex insurance issues for our property portfolio. They have alerted us to changes in the insurance market and are consistently looking ahead to ensure service levels are maintained, particularly regarding claims.”
“We have been taking quality advice and insurance policies from the team at McClarrons since 2013. The advice we receive is always very clear and to the point. We feel McClarrons fully understands our insurance requirements within the care sector and always delivers the best bespoke insurance policy to further maintain and develop our business. I would highly recommend the team at McClarrons for all your care sector insurance advice and comprehensive policies.”
“I have arranged my insurances through McClarrons since 2008, insuring The Estate, farmsteads and let properties. I have always found Sean and the team to be efficient and thorough in their approach, providing me with a tailored and valuable insurance solution covering the complex requirements of the Estate. We had one particularly complicated claim where a retaining wall had collapsed and McClarrons were able to work with our insurer to provide us with a successful remedial solution. I would have no hesitation in recommending McClarrons to anyone looking for an insurance broker who provides not only a personal service but comprehensive cover and an excellent claims service.”
“We have used McClarrons for a number of years for the charity’s insurance needs, we had a full review of our existing insurances and were provided guidance on key areas of cover the charity did not have. McClarrons conducted a thorough marketing exercise on our behalf and presented us with options, making sure we had the appropriate cover for the best possible premium. McClarrons’ customer service is second to none and we have not looked back since we started working with them. I fully recommend McClarons to anyone in the care or charity sector!”
“Charlie and the team at McClarrons have been arranging my insurance since 2016. My equestrian business is complex and fairly unique. It requires a company with a strong understanding of the equestrian world, along with the insurance market. They are able to match my insurance to the risks that I am exposed to. I have experienced several unusual claims, all of which were dealt with on my behalf where I felt very strongly and well represented. One claim in particular related to an investigation by a regulator, their Rural Protect policy provided support and cover which I had not expected to be so thorough, providing a very positive outcome for myself.”
“McClarrons have provided a comprehensive service taking the time to understand our business and needs, before delivering a personalised package which covers the various aspects of our Group. Their Professional approach and knowledgeable advisors provide us with great confidence in their service. We would strongly recommend McClarrons to anyone considering a new Broker.”
“McClarrons have an extensive knowledge of the Health & Social Care sector and took time to understand our business. Having used a number of insurance brokers, I am pleased to have found McClarrons. They are always there at the end of the phone or email ready to help and I never have to ask twice. McClarrons have links with specialist insurers, finding the best deals and are only too happy to meet face to face to explain everything in detail and talk me through my options.”
“McClarrons have handled the insurances for St Cecilia’s Care Services Ltd for 2 years now and were able to place our insurances in very difficult market conditions due to the pandemic. As well as the renewal, they were also invaluable in assisting us with an acquisition to the group mid-year. The acquisition was not a straightforward process, and their advice was invaluable to us.
McClarrons provided an annual review to ensure our cover remains ‘fit for purpose’, and discussed current market conditions and any alternative options available. With their specialist knowledge within the care sector, they provide advice on pertinent issues, such as underinsurance, and are always keen to assist and advise on any ancillary insurance requirements.
I would highly recommend McClarrons to my Independent Care Group colleagues – they are trustworthy and offer real value.”
“We have used McClarrons for a few years now and have found them to be professional, always there to help. They provided us with a very competitive rate making quite a saving on previous policies. We are very happy with the service they provide.”
“We have been delighted at the assistance we have received and would readily recommend Jordane at McClarrons to any similar organisation.“
“Having joined McClarrons just over a year ago, I have been very impressed with their competence and attention to detail in arranging my farm insurance. After a thorough review of my cover, Becky made some suggestions on how it could be improved and also managed to reduce our premium. With a number of changes to our business needs throughout the year, I have always found the team to be helpful and efficient and would recommend them to anyone looking for a specialist rural insurance broker.”
“McClarrons have demonstrated a clear and concise understanding of the rural sector. We place real value in their advice and support in looking after our insurance requirements.”
“McClarrons was recommended to me by a friend as I needed insurance for my domiciliary care Agency. I spoke with Luke, who was able to take the time and go through everything I needed with me, he was helpful and supportive and explained everything fully. He is very knowledgeable, especially within the current climate and was able to recommend other areas of my business that would benefit from cover. I did not feel I needed to consult with other brokers after my conversation with McClarrons and took the policy out. I have already recommended McClarrons’ services to other colleagues within the health care sector, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”
