Commercial Insurance
Tailored for the Caribbean Company

At Tomlin Brokers, we sit on your side of the table
with an emphasis on innovative and personalized service.

We are Tomlin Insurance Brokers

An independent commercial insurance broker with over 30 years experience in corporate insurance and risk management in the Caribbean.

WHY USE AN INSURANCE BROKER

We know the markets, legislation, and best practices

We use our expertise in commercial insurance and risk management and act on your behalf. We provide advice in the interest of our clients, leveraging our network of insurance providers to get you the best coverage at the best price.

What are the benefits of
using an Insurance Broker?

We are proud of our independence –  We do not have the pressures of working with a parent company or partner broker who might not necessarily have the expertise needed for our clients.
By being independent,  our success is based only on exceeding our client’s expectations. We have the freedom to work for our clients securing the best terms, conditions, expertise, and coverage.

What makes us
stand out

Clients trust us.
We are there to help you to make the tough decisions and negotiate any claims. We are not afraid to have difficult conversations with insurance companies that may pose a problem with claims.
We are here to advise, assist and support you.

What do we
stand for?

We:
– Do what’s right always
– Engage a client-focused strategy
– Ask questions every day
– Provide solutions to the client and insurer.
– Work hard & play hard. Work-life balance, especially family, is important to our team.

Why do we concentrate on
commercial business?

Large, complex risks are our specialty.

We add value to large businesses in coverage, identifying and managing the various risks, providing self- insurance options, helping with claims, and finding that specialized market to write the business.

At Tomlin Insurance Brokers, we specialise in commercial insurance. We know that no two companies are the same, and the types of coverage our clients need vary greatly. Using our experience, we have developed an approach that we take with each client – ensuring timely and effective management and critical response.

the tomlin approach

  1. Gather information, assessing your unique risk profile and insurance needs.
  2. Research your industry while staying current with changes in the insurance industry, especially in the Caribbean.
  3. Negotiate the best policies at the best price after collating the various policies offered by insurance providers.
  4. Make sure that you understand the terms, extent and risks associated with your coverage, and how to reduce the need to make a claim.
  5. Negotiate on your behalf and work closely with you in the event you need to make a claim.

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 information

Five 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.
