Exceptional Customer Service. We are frequent travellers abroad and found it difficult to obtain travel insurance following my husbands health problems. They were the only company who made the effort to get travel insurance cover for us and have been doing so for the last 5 years. Thank you all for the excellent service.

We are a business established 5 years ago; we approached Robert J Goodson regarding our insurance requirements just over 3 years ago and were impressed with the policy recommendation both in terms of the cover provided, competitive rate and the professionalism of the staff. We have now renewed our insurance arrangements with Robert J Goodson for a third time which is entirely due to the knowledge of our business requirements by their staff and the comprehensive cover that the policy has provided throughout the time we have dealt with Goodsons and for the forthcoming year. We have no hesitation

All of our Commercial policies with RJG Ltd, our Vehicle, Cargo, Warehouse and Public & Product Liability are all in one place and the best bit is they were cheaper than the big boys but are local. We talked through what we needed with a normal person not a call centre and found great prices and service. We We are local independent business with a small fleet of vehicles and had some very high quotes from some of the larger Insurance companies going direct. We highly recommend Gemma and the Team at Robert Goodsons, REALLY FIRST CLASS.
