2017 will be my 20th year in the Insurance industry. I have been with Circle Insurance for 3 years and am the Claims Manager for the Heritage Scheme.

We were awarded the prestigious Chartered Insurance Brokers designation by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in January 2011.

The CII is the world’s largest professional body dedicated to the insurance, savings and financial services sector.

This is the industry’s gold standard for insurance brokers and confirms that we have satisfied rigorous qualification criteria by retaining highly-qualified staff who subscribe to the membership conditions of the CII.

It also involves a commitment to continuing professional development and adherence to an industry standard Code of Ethics. You can view the code here.

When you use a Chartered firm you are dealing with proven professionals. The CII is empowered by the Privy Council to award Chartered status and the award is only made in deserving cases. Whilst Chartered titles are steeped in history, they remain the benchmark of professional excellence and integrity. Only a select few of the UK’s premier insurance broking firms qualify for Chartered status and we are proud to be amongst that number.

If you wish to know more about how using a Chartered firm can ensure you get the best possible advice, service and support, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Testimonials

Stella Morris, General Manager

The service and cover provided by Circle and Hiscox is far superior to my previous insurance and very competitive as well.

Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills Ltd

John Simpson, CEO

Rob has looked after our insurances for many years and has done so in a friendly and highly professional manner. His knowledge and experience of our sector is clearly evident from the advice and competitive programmes he has put in place for Dynamic Earth. He also managed to get a sizeable boiler claim paid which our previous broker had failed to do so, clearly demonstrating his tenacity in providing the kind of quality service clients would expect from their broker. We would not hesitate to recommend Rob and Circle Insurance for those who want a highly professional service coupled with excellent value for money.

Dynamic Earth

Lesley Blakemore, Financial Controller

I have known Rob Davies for many years and the service provided has always been exceptional – taking the worry out of insurance. This new museum product offers even more relevant cover than ever before.

The World of Glass (St Helens) Ltd

Glynis Powell, General Manager

It’s such a relief to find an insurer who understands our business. As a small volunteer-led heritage attraction we have big responsibilities, limited resources and all the non-standard peculiarities inherent in our sector. With Circle and Rob we don’t have to struggle to understand how we fit into the usual alien insurance categories. Our Trustees appreciate the full discussions and feel assured that dialogue and support is only a phone call away.

Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens

Simon Carter, Director

A unique innovative approach to a complicated museum. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings Ltd

Phil Turner, Retired Finance Director

The Circle Heritage Policy Rob has designed is the perfect product for our two quite diverse museums / visitor centres. The policy meets all of our insurance requirements but is flexible enough to cater for the ever changing exhibits and events that we arrange. Rob has been our broker for many years and has always delivered a cost effective policy, given excellent service and I have no hesitation in recommending  him and his team to any similar charitable organisation. The additional benefit of being able to spread the premiums, interest free over the year is an added bonus.
