<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 />

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 />
and individual, who underwrite in syndicates on<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 />
