When looking to renew our insurance at the start of the Coronavirus lockdown period, Tim from Cornerstone was recommended to us by an associate. From the initial contact I have to say the service received was excellent, despite challenging circumstances. There was no hard sell that insurers are notorious for, Tim asked all the right questions to identify our needs, gave his recommendations on the most suitable products for our requirements (not the most expensive!) and then gave us time to weigh up our options before proceeding. We would highly recommend Cornestone as a broker.

I have over many years used other brokers some better than others before finding Cornerstone.
Cornerstone Business Insurance and Tim provide excellence throughout. They are competively priced at the same time as providing first class quality.
Cornerstone go the extra mile in thoroughly checking out your business to make sure you are properly covered for everything you need to be covered for. This is sometimes forgotten in the rush by some companies to find the cheapest possible deal. When checking our previous insurance Tim found some critical areas in our business where we should have been

I certainly would not hesitate to recommend Cornerstone Insurance following a lengthy conversation Tim and I talked through every aspect of my business right from the beginning of the supply chain right through to the end user . Discussing each aspect of insurance in great detail along the way. Even though my business is based a little too far away to suit both parties, Tim was still more than happy to give up an hour of his time and advise on the best way to approach my companies Insurance structure. Many thanks once again

I have dealt with Cornerstone Business Insurance for 6 years and during that time I have been consistently impressed with the quality of service and the high level of professionalism shown by staff members. Whilst competitive pricing is always a major consideration for business insurance, I believe it is equally important for a broker to understand your business and the particular insurance requirements that it may have. This is where Cornerstone has always scored highly and why I will continue to deal with Tim Lee and his team and not hesitate to recommend them to my clients for handling their
