| Originally established in 1967 as a Financial
Services and General Insurance Broker, the company ceased acting as a financial
advisor to concentrate on general insurance in 1993.
As part of the Mill House Group, Colliers focused mainly on
commercial lines business during the mid to late 1990's, both retailing direct
to clients and also wholesaling exclusive products to other Brokers. Colliers
retail division came under its present ownership in April 2000 following a successful
management buy-out.
Our strategy is to expand Colliers by growth of our client
portfolios and continued steady expansion is expected for the foreseeable future.
Our independence enables us to be strictly autonomous in our business decisions,
which reinforces our stability and commitment to our clients.
Collier's success has been built on a strong reputation for
quality and service. To achieve this, the company presently consists of two focused
trading divisions, those being commercial & personal lines. Both of these
teams are dedicated to providing a professional and friendly service and the interest
of our clients is paramount.
Colliers operate from premises in Welling, Kent which are
uniquely placed for access to the Motorway and Train networks. London Bridge is
only 20 minutes from our office and Luton Airport is just over an hour away. By
design, we only operate from one office as this allows us to focus our resources
and ensure our service standards for our clients.
The collective experience of the management and staff is substantial.
Their dedication and commitment enable Colliers to provide an excellent insurance
Broking service which we constantly monitor to ensure that our own general standards
are always maintained and exceeded.
We aim to provide you with independent advice and a first
class service. We appreciate that today's business world is littered with extra
administration including Health & Safety, employment law and general red tape.
If our tender is successful Colliers will provide you with
a full review of all of your insurance arrangements to identify and repair any
gaps you may have in your covers. This service is designed to give you peace of
mind to allow you to continue to run your business and concentrate on making your
profits.
Colliers believe in order to provide you with a service that
is second to none we effectively need to become a member of your team. This allows
us to get to know your business better and anticipate your needs.
People answer our telephones! You will speak to a member of
our team who will know who you are and what you do! We will respond quickly to
any request and offer a full range of claims services. We keep abreast of the
current market conditions, availability of new products, changes in legislation
and most importantly requirements of insurers. Our experience is considerable
and such awareness enables us to obtain the most competitive and comprehensively
worded insurance packages available.
The collapse of Independent Insurance
PLC on 18th June 2001 highlighted the need for clients to be sure that any insurer
they select is financially secure. Colliers ensure that each of our agencies are
with reputable insurers and underwriters. We will only recommend an Insurer of
good standing with recognised skill in underwriting risks in your industry. Colliers
have exclusive facilities with certain Lloyd's underwriters and to ensure swift
access to the decision makers we retain a full time broker based in the Lloyds
building who is able to respond immediately to any situation.
