A different way of looking at your business

Testimonials

 

 

Group

 


“Please pass on my thanks for all the hard work Diane and Steve have done in getting the scheme up and running.  They have been fantastic with dealing with my demands and answering all my questions (and I did ask a lot!).  They have shown a huge amount of dedication and willingness to help and respond quickly without me having to chase at all. 

 

I felt Steve went above and beyond when he had to seek further advice on childcare voucher and maternity leave questions – I am fully aware he did not have to do this but am very grateful all the same.

Diane has been great in making sure I am doing things right, I know she’s had to put in a lot of extra hours for us which I appreciate.

 

They have both worked extremely hard and it has been a pleasure working with them.   It has only reinforced my confidence in Jelf and the people they employ - especially as we moved away from our two previous brokers….It has definitely paid off.

 

Many thanks again for everything”

“An integrated approach, using the Jelf Group to manage all our benefits under one roof, has given us an opportunity to reduce unnecessary areas of ‘double-cover' whilst enabling us to reduce costs still further. “

“I am delighted to endorse the services provided by Jelf Insurance Brokers Ltd and the Jelf Group as a whole and have no hesitation in recommending them.  During our time with Jelf's we have continued to receive a quality service on our general insurance arrangements, whether this be in connection with negotiation of competitive terms and the placing of our insurance policies, or in the negotiation and settlement of claims.  Our business is always handled in a friendly but professional manner and I wish to express my thanks to the entire team.  Needless to say, the same theme continues throughout the Jelf Group in connection with both Financial Services and Healthcare, and I am continually impressed by the standards maintained, and, the quality of advice provided.”

Insurance

 

“We have worked with the Jelf Group for just over 12 months and have been very happy with the level of service we have received from them. This has translated into a substantial savings for Multistar in both time and money, compared to the insurance brokers we used previously.”

“The Insta Group of Companies moved their general insurance business to the Jelf Group around 18 months ago, having received unsatisfactory service from a large national broker previously. The changeover was a trouble free, seamless event. In recent times we have needed claims support for a rather complex supplier issue. We have been very pleased with the assistance and advice we have received and would have no hesitation in recommending the Jelf Group to other commercial organisations seeking high quality insurance broking services.”

“The deal was on much more favourable terms than we imagined were possible. The whole process was seamless, professional and quickly executed. This excellent service harks back to the old banking days of ‘real customer service’ where the customer is put first.”

Tim Hayden
Partner
H&D Property

 

“As a moving and storage company we have an annual requirement for large capital sums to purchase replacement trucks, cars, fork lift trucks and the like. We have never had difficult obtaining hire purchase for anything with wheels on it, but when it came to lifts and mezzanine floors for our ‘self storage’ warehouse fit outs, our usual providers shied away. We already used Jelf Group as insurance brokers and so were happy to learn that they could assist via their commercial finance company. Competitive quotes quickly followed and we were able to finance several projects without the need for unsuitable bank funding.”

Paul Fox
Fox Moving and Storage

 

“Jelf Commercial Finance listened to what our requirements were and gave us unbiased advice enabling us to get the right vehicles, on the terms that suited us at a competitive price. Moreover, they did this in a very friendly and stress free way.”

“I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the exceptional service that you and Charles Bailey have provided us with regard to our recent property purchase and re-banking exercise of our business. We are delighted with our new bankers and it was very reassuring that we were in the hands of professionals when it came to this and the property purchase through our pension fund. We would not hesitate to recommend you …..and in fact have already done so!”

Jerry Webb
Director
CDW Systems Ltd

 

“I was referred to the Jelf Group by Fryer Holt who were marketing an office suite I had viewed in Reading. I was looking to finance approximately 50% of the purchase price and the offices were to be leased to a private limited company to which I am a director and shareholder. I was looking for a short term mortgage at the best rate. As well as speaking to the Jelf Group I asked another high street bank and my personal bank. The Jelf Group came up with best offer and I found their service to be efficient and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for this service.”

Tim Roots

 Financial Services 

 

“The Jelf Group was recommended to us and were invited to review our portfolio of employee benefits and Keyman insurance policies.  They conducted in our view a thorough and professional review and delivered worthwhile and beneficial recommendations.  Among other things they: Reviewed private medical benefits and our then current critical illness and keyman policies; Investigated the cover and content of all our current policies; Recommended overall improvements to the benefit of all staff impacted; Made formal recommendations to management on the best policy providers; Managed the transition from existing policies to new after gaining and negotiating on the company's behalf very competitive quotations.  The end result to Exor was a substantial saving in our premiums while at the same time improved overall benefits to staff members.  We would add that at all times we were impressed by the overall professional and efficient conduct of the members of the Jelf Group conducting the review.  The recommendations were fully accepted by Exor and changes in lines with the recommendations were implemented.  We would have no hesitation in recommending the Jelf Group.”
