    Words from our clients…

    Shannonside Civil Engineering Ltd

    "Over the last eight years we have continued to renew our cover through Adler Fairways, we consider them a partner of our wider business on the growth trajectory to being a 100 million pound business. Having guided us from a small start up to where we are today, their guidance and level of experience have been invaluable in ensuring we are covered in all aspects of our liabilities. This has allowed us to focus on growth and margins. Thank you Adler Fairways as we move forward together into the future." Shannonside Civil Engineering

    "Adler Fairways have taken care of our insurance needs for many years, during which time we have built a strong relationship. We have come to depend on their expertise and know we can always rely on them." West Midlands Fasteners

    Faisal Ravat, Managing Director, E&S Motors Ltd

    "We transferred our insurance to Adler Fairways Insurance Brokers in 2023, when they offered us a much more complete and competitive premium than our current brokers. The team took the time to understand our business and future needs; we have continued to receive excellent service from them, and have been impressed with their care, and attention to detail. What is key for our business is the advice that is given when needed, and the robust claims management internally which has helped manage our premiums for a traditionally difficult to insure niche sector of the motor trade." E&S Motors

    Frank Ryan, Director, Reirse Ryan Ltd

    "We have been with Adler Fairways for a number of years now and remain with them for the personal service we receive together with commercially competitive premiums and the knowledge that when a claim does arise, professional assistance is always to hand." Reirce Ryan

    Gerald Doble, Director, G A Doble

    "The Adler Fairways team has looked after our insurance portfolio for several years now and have provided excellent service throughout. Our annual renewal reviews are always conducted in good time ahead of renewal with all our questions answered and we are extremely impressed with the renewal proposals received. Prior to moving our business to Adler Fairways, we had not received a proper review for several years. The team were instrumental in making sure our insurance was arranged on the correct basis and have also been able to save us money on our premiums over the years. It is clear that they have our best interests at heart, both from an insurance cover and premium perspective. Whenever we have a query or need to make a change to our policies, it is dealt with efficiently and professionally. We can’t fault them on their reliability and excellent personal service".

Adler Fairways has been a trusted partner to us for over 15 years and we couldn’t be more satisfied with their exceptional service.

We have peace of mind in their ability to source comprehensive, industry-specific coverage at competitive rates which is a huge benefit to our operations. The fact that Adler Fairways is a Chartered insurance brokerage also demonstrates their ongoing commitment within their profession." Central Scaffold Walsall
