Our unique programmes
In addition to the expected services of an insurance broker, we have developed unique programmes and packages exclusively for our clients.
Request more informationFive Star Insurance
Operating luxury accommodations, such as hotels and villas, requires an insurance service to match. These businesses face many different possible legal actions from guests and staff, and many of the incidents that will result in legal action are not covered by standard public liability policy, or even Hotel programmes in the region.
With our Five Star Insurance, we have designed and customised a liability policy that offers you the widest coverage available at very competitive prices, which specifically addresses the risks hotels face.
Insurance Scorecard
The Tomlin Insurance ScoreCard goes beyond the typical broker insurance renewal cycle by providing a comprehensive analysis of the risks faced by your business. We:
– Quantify your existing risks and score them against your current premiums
– Determine a new target premium budget
– Develop your ideal programme
– Quantify and explain your new potential risk implication
This is a free service available to qualifying businesses.
Residential Protection Programme
As a commercial broker, we were able to use our experience and network to develop an improved homeowner’s policy compared to your average broker or insurance provider.
This joint programme was developed after extensive negotiations with major insurance providers, and is exclusive to Tomlin Brokers’ clients.
