<strong>Partners</strong> -<br />

Who We Are<br />

We are a specialist Lloyd’s insurance broker, part<br />

of a multi national reinsurance and risk solutions<br />

group, who operate on a unique regional basis<br />

to bring an unrivalled market presence to small<br />

- medium sized businesses who seek bespoke<br />

solutions for their insurance requirements.<br />

When the original founders of the business retired<br />

in 2000, Trans Continental Investment Services<br />

group seized the opportunity to purchase and<br />

invest in a growing, professional broker and since<br />

then, the business has seen new dynamics and<br />

aspirations.<br />

Since be<strong>com</strong>ing part of the TCIS group, <strong>Bennett</strong><br />

<strong>Gould</strong> has transformed into a multi regional market<br />

leading risk solution provider.<br />

Through our professional advice we look to<br />

contribute to the continued success of our clients.<br />

Why use an Insurance Broker<br />

Obtaining insurance is different from buying most other products; for instance<br />

you cannot see or touch what you have bought, merely the policy which<br />

confirms it.<br />

More importantly you cannot always be sure that what you have purchased is<br />

correct for your requirements; or you may not fully understand what you have<br />

bought.<br />

These elements bring the existence of professional advisors into being.<br />

These advisors, or brokers, are regulated by the Financial Services Authority<br />

and are highly trained professionals who give independent advice.<br />

Most brokers will not only negotiate the arrangement on the clients insurance,<br />

but also deal with claims and even offer risk management and other services.<br />

Why <strong>Bennett</strong> <strong>Gould</strong> & <strong>Partners</strong><br />

We are leaders in the design of innovative insurance products to meet the constantly changing business<br />

environment.<br />

We have built up strong relationships in both the Lloyd’s market and with leading insurers and have be<strong>com</strong>e a<br />

preferred Lloyd’s broker renowned for it’s approach to creating new types of risk solutions.<br />

Our national presence, direct access to the specialist Lloyd’s market and our underwriting strength with leading<br />

insurers mean we have more muscle and market options than most regional brokers. We are not restricted in our<br />

markets as are some of our <strong>com</strong>petitors who may be owned or part owned by an insurance <strong>com</strong>pany, who tend to<br />

use limited markets which their owners want them to use, often for their own <strong>com</strong>mercial reasons and not always<br />

to a customers best advantage.<br />

Also as an independent broker we have a major advantage over direct insurers.....we search the market and find<br />

the most appropriate product for you as apposed to a direct insurer who will only offer you their product which<br />

may or may not be to your best advantage. In summary, we offer you a truly unbiased service and provide you<br />

with our re<strong>com</strong>mendations after performing a fact find with you. This means you purchase the product most suited<br />

to your requirements.<br />

We Provide<br />

• Risk identification and Evaluation<br />

• Placement of Cover<br />

• Risk Management<br />

• Claims Management<br />

The<br />

Lloyd’s<br />

Market<br />

Lloyd’s is the worlds leading specialist insurance<br />

market providing insurance solutions for over 200<br />

countries and territories.<br />

It is home to 44 managing agents and 62<br />

syndicates, which offer unrivalled insurance<br />

expertise.<br />

Lloyd’s is probably the most widely known and<br />

least understood insurance brand.<br />

<strong>com</strong>pany but a society of members, both corporate<br />

whose behalf professional underwriters accept risk.<br />

Supporting capital is provided by investment<br />

institutions, specialist investors, international<br />

insurance <strong>com</strong>panies and of course individuals.<br />

So, who insures with Lloyd’s Well you would be<br />

in good <strong>com</strong>pany - 94% of FTSE 100 <strong>com</strong>panies,<br />

82% of Fortune top 50 European <strong>com</strong>panies,<br />

85% of Fortune 500 US <strong>com</strong>panies, the top 7<br />

pharmaceutical <strong>com</strong>panies and the top 20<br />

global banks!<br />
