About Barclay Brown Group

Barclay Brown (Preston) Limited, Insurance Brokers is part of the Barclay Brown Group. The Group was established in 1962 and has evolved into one of the North West's most innovative and dynamic independent commercial insurance brokers.

Our staff have considerable experience in the placement of commercial risk programmes in the local, London, Lloyds and overseas insurance markets.

We operate centrally from our offices in the Lancastrian Center, Talbot Rd, Manchester with branches in Preston, North Lancashire and Mold.

We are members of the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA). We pride ourselves on the accreditation we have received from the insurance industry in recognition of our high quality service and professionalism. As a fully independent insurance broking organisation we are committed to corporate clients who share our goals for professionalism and success.

The company's personnel have extensive experience in the design, negotiation and placement of policies for clients in a wide variety of commercial sectors.

These range through from individual retail outlets through manufacturing, construction, major motor retail, airport authorities, multi-national companies and professional risks.

Our speciality is tailor-making policies to the very individual requirements of each and every one of our clients.

Excellent relations are held with Insurers both in the UK and throughout Europe providing a spectrum of products and underwriting capacity.

Our strength is out independence, our people and our short channels of communication. It allows us to operate solely with our client's interest at heart and our approach encourages innovation and creativity. It is in the quality of our people on which we most rely.

We take pride in the service that we extend to our client's, which we feel is second to none and is evidenced by our record of client retention year-on-year.

Our Philosophy

We believe that our business philosophy sets us apart in the market. Our focus looks beyond the traditional approach to insurance broking to listen, understand, analyse and then respond to our client's individual business needs. We consider that rather then simply being concepts, 'partnership', 'innovations' and 'responsive service', should be an integral package we deliver to our clients and key factors in driving forward our business.

Our Success

The result of our approach is that we are able to point to:

• a record of continuing expansion, based upon the retention of our established clients and our appointment to a number of significant new accounts;
• a strong market position in which our brokers are respected by the underwriter with whom they deal and in turn, by our competitors.
• above all, at Barclay Brown we are organised to deliver on our promises.

• Analysing and understanding a company's requirements.
• Constantly reviewing the markets.
• Negotiating and tailoring cover for our clients.
• Negotiating competitive premiums and structures of cover.
