Client Testimonials
“We first utilised the services of YIB through a personal relationship
with Steve Hind that dates back 30 odd years. Initially our dealings were for our personal requirements, but as our own business developed over the years, Steve and YIB have more than kept pace, and have always provided appropriate insurance advice and cover to ensure all our needs are met. Indeed their service goes above our requests, with them anticipating additional insurance requirements, and advising us accordingly. Any claims that have been lodged have been dealt with very promptly and efficiently, with a positive outcome for us on each occasion.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve and all his team for their ongoing personalised service to our family and business, and would assure any person or business that is looking for a top-rate representative for their insurance work, that they need look no further than YIB.”
