It’s so important to have adequate insurance in place to keep you and your business protected should the unexpected happen. For our larger commercial clients, insurance claims can often be complex and that’s where our fantastic Claims team step in.
Analysis of our commercial clients’ claims experience shows that 20% of businesses will make at least one claim per year.¹ Our team, with their impressive 111 years of collective experience, have the expertise and skills to manage your claim from start to settlement.
Meet the team
Paul Atkin, Head of Commercial Claims, leads the team that consists of Team Manager Harni and Claims Executives/Handlers Nick, James, Andy, Lewis and Mia. Each individual has a different sector of knowledge, so our team can collectively cover a wide variety of claims.
Just a few of the tasks that the team take on are:
- Taking the time to understand the details from your perspective and explaining the level of cover your policy allows
- Logging your claim with insurers and advising you on the next steps
- Making sure you have the correct contact details for the insurer that’s handling your claim
- Keeping you in the loop while they handle your claim through regular updates and communications
- Arranging a settlement as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Don’t just take our word for it
At Sutton Winson we encourage transparency and welcome all feedback, so after a claim has been settled, the team send out a satisfaction survey to clients to receive some honest feedback. We ask for feedback that relates to both ourselves and the insurers we work with. That way, we can ensure that our services are as efficient and effective as possible, all the way through.
Between November 2020 and 2021, 100% of those clients who responded to our survey said that that they were happy with the overall service and support they received from us, following their claim.²
Here’s just a few of the fantastic comments we’ve had from clients when managing their claim:
“I found the level of service provided was, for this claim - and as always, really professional, personal and effective. The insurance company's response was protracted and delaying and this must have made Sutton Winson's task all the more difficult. The result however was excellent culminating in full pay-out of the claim and all credit to James Evamy for having negotiated that on our behalf. Moreover, I would like to thank SW and particularly Jeanette Collinson who manages a multitude of insurances for my various companies. She is always able to resolve problems and answer questions promptly, effectively and all with endless patience. Collectively, it is this sort of attention to detail, prompt and easy responses, and a trust in the professional willingness to get things sorted that make Sutton Winson as our brokers an easy choice for me. Thank you all!”
“The claims handler asserted that landlord's contents cover only applied to the common parts even though the policy clearly states otherwise. Our broker, Harni, had to convince her that she was wrong and this delayed the progress of the claim for too long. Without the intervention of Sutton Winson we would not have recovered a substantial proportion of the claim.”
