Building good relationships

“Throughout the process… I have felt very much that I was treated as a person not a number. I was able to talk to the same person and given time to ask questions – which built confidence and relationship.

I would like to commend you for your very professional, efficient and effective customer service.”

Private Client, Glasgow

Going above and beyond…

“Stephen Randall went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to our buildings insurance. He helped wade through boxes of old files to answer our insurer’s questions about the materials used in our extension. His local knowledge is also invaluable.”

The whole team at Blackford are brilliant

“Chris and the whole team at Blackford are brilliant – it doesn’t matter who you’re working with, it’s seamless… They’re excellent when it comes to representing your business to insurers who might not understand the detail of what you’re doing. That’s been invaluable for us on numerous occasions.”

… why I like Blackford so much

All it took was a few conversations and then they got on with the job

“Blackford helped us to have conversations with insurers and then translated all the paperwork to double-check that the policies were providing everything that we’d been promised. All it took was a few conversations and then they got on with the job, leaving us to concentrate on running our business.”

Making insurance a pleasurable experience

“The care and attention that comes from Blackford is second to none. That’s the way I seek to do business – the relationship we have with Blackford is the relationship that I want to have with my own customers.”
