Tony & Tim at Edison Ives have looked after my insurance policy for the last 2 years and they have been fantastic. I have had to make multiple changes mid policy a few times and with other companies in the past this has resulted in higher premiums and penalties. Edison Ives have managed to reduce my monthly costs and consistently provide high quality customer service. I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for my business insurance.

My husband just set up his first business and as many can relate to its very overwhelming with all the things needed to do including insurance. I looked around and delt with a couple other companies which in comparison were a nightmare.
Gobind was amazing with communication, making the whole daunting experience a breeze and going the extra mile to provide outstanding customer service. The company is very flexible and accommodating wouldn't hesitate to reccomend to any of my friend or family.

I spent months trying to find bespoke insurance cover for my small food business but kept getting really bad service, no information and refusal with no explanation. Id almost lost hope but then I got through to Tony from Edison Ives and he was incredible. Not only did he spend the time to explain things thoroughly, he went out of his way to help me find the right insurance policy for my business. Im a super happy customer and would Highly recommend! Thank you so so much.
