A group of objects or things of a certain type; they are homogenous in some way. The collector often takes pride in it, is attached to it, emotionally or otherwise, and finds enjoyment in the act of finding and curating these items.
Example: “it’s a unique art collection”, “her antique collection means a great deal to her”, “he has quite the collection of statues”.
We are experienced in working with clients who have extremely unique and valuable collections; this means we have the knowledge to be able to advise on the security, care and insurance provisions available.
To further support our clients, we have partnered with a number of specialists who can provide additional services to you, such as valuations, security advice and systems, as well as some who can provide advice on the make-up of your collection itself.
With McClarrons Affinity, you benefit from our independent, in-house claims team. Our team of specialists are there to guide you through the process of making a claim, should you need to, and to negotiate with insurers and third parties on your behalf to ensure you receive a fair settlement.
Whilst collections often have a high monetary value, they also tend to, understandably, have a high sentimental value to their curators.
With McClarrons Affinity, you can benefit not only from ensuring you have adequate collections insurance protection in place for your more usual contents, but also for those items that have been carefully selected and amassed. Whether you are looking to protect artwork, antiques, wine or books, we can arrange collections insurance that will support you should the worst happen, as well as advise you on how to best prevent an incident from occurring.
We will spend the time with you to understand your insurance needs fully. We ask the relevant questions upfront to ensure there are no surprises in the event of a claim.
Through face-to-face meetings, we will provide you with risk management advice, answer any queries you have and provide you with a tailored insurance solution.
In the event of a claim, our in-house claims team will negotiate remedial action on your behalf, liaise with insurers and keep you updated throughout the process.

High-value properties can take many different forms, whether they be townhouses or country homes, are fitted with bespoke interiors, have specialist construction or are home to a unique collection. As such, they often require cover that a standard household policy cannot provide.
Insuring high-value vehicles and performance cars can be difficult. At McClarrons Affinity, we work with a number of specialist motor insurers who, like us, understand the importance of providing the right protection for such automobiles.
Travel should always be an exciting adventure. Making sure you have insurance in place to support you should your holiday not go to plan gives you the peace of mind to really make the most of it.
