Our Customer Feedback

Our clients experiences speak volumes about the value we provide. Here’s what some of them have to say:

"I was delighted by the service provided by MercariRisk; my previous broker was struggling to understand the insurance needs of my business due to our focus on the maritime sector. Alan got straight to work and arranged the cover I needed at a lower premium overall.”
"I reached out to MercariRisk on behalf of a client of mine after seeing them listed in the BIBA schemes guide. Alan took up the challenge of insuring floating lodges and obtained terms when all of the insurers I tried were declining to quote."
"The team at MercariRisk really know their stuff! I'd previously tried multiple brokers to get cover for vessel chartering but no-one could help, however, the team at Mercari Risk got to know my business and were able to get me covered at an affordable premium as well as answer all of the questions I had about the cover, so I could make a fully informed decision to buy."

We are a team of experts based on the South Coast and we have clients based all over the UK who come to us because they value the experience within the team.
