Whatever type of insurance you’re looking for, arranging your cover through an independent insurance broker – rather than a do-it-yourself price comparison site – is your best bet when it comes to finding the right level of cover at the right price.
On the face of it, price comparison sites offer great deals, especially when cost is the main consideration. But dig a bit deeper, and there are lots of reasons why using a broker can prove a very wise choice. The main benefits include:
you’ll get truly independent advice from the professionals
they’ll work hard on your behalf and shop around to get you the best deal
experienced staff with specialist knowledge of their chosen insurance sector
a broker knows the insurance market and recognises when you’re getting value for money and can negotiate on your behalf
you get personal advice and support, and have an insurance expert “in your corner” with your best interests in mind
you can ask questions, air concerns and get advice and recommendations – but still have the final say
you learn about the pros and cons of each option in a way you can understand
unlike an agent, an insurance broker deals with many companies, not just one, so they can find you the best value
insurance brokers are extremely well qualified, and must meet very high professional standards
in-house claims support is available if the worst happens
The personal touch
There’s nothing quite like dealing with someone who takes the time to get to know you and your circumstances. Independent insurance brokers provide that personal touch. At the same time, customers still benefit from competitive rates and some of the best deals that the broker can negotiate because of their established relationships with the UK’s leading insurers.

Annually Commercial Insurance Services Ltd attends the largest Insurance event of the year run by BIBA.
BIBA was founded in 1977 to represent the independent insurance broker. In 1988, following the introduction of the Financial Services Act, the organisation extended its membership to include Independent Financial Advisers, and became the British Insurance and Investment Brokers’ Association – BIIBA.
In 1994, the UK’s Independent Financial Advisers were coming under increasing pressure, which led to calls for the creation of an association dedicated to representing their interests. As a result, BIIBA was the driving force behind the establishment of its sister organisation, the IFA Association.
In September 1999, the organisation removed the word ‘investment’ from its title, and reverted to the name BIBA. Today, it is the largest broker organisation in the UK, and has established itself as the industry’s most powerful and authoritative voice.
Upon Arrival
Once checked into the hotel, our trip began with a networking event with one of our leading insurance companies, NIG.
NIG specialise entirely in commercial insurance – and nothing else. So their highly experienced underwriting teams are completely focused on identifying and understanding the continually challenging risks faced by small and medium enterprises throughout the UK.
But what really sets them apart is their partnership approach. NIG work exclusively through a network of over 2,200 insurance brokers, collaborating closely with these partners to deliver the cover, services and support you’d expect from a national organisation at a local level.
CiSL has a strong relationship with all our insurance companies ensuring we are using only the best underwriters you with exceptional cover at an affordable premium.
The insurance industry is constantly changing and it is key to us as your broker to stay up to date with it all. NIG are one of the most innovative companies in terms of providing bespoke commercial insurance with an added touch. For example with each fleet policy that is taken with NIG you are provided with a FREE Fleet Management system that then offers you the client further discount depending on your fleets driving.

Rise and shine – Day one of BIBA we had the entire day planned out with networking events and guest speakers. These included talking to companies such as; LV, Aviva, Axa, Allianz, Broker Network, Ageas, Markel and many more.
Our MD and Marketing Manager attended the Three man conferences. This include guest speakers such as Caspar Berry, Jeremy Paxman & William Hague.
A lot was presented to the audience, one of the main and most exciting topics was the BIBA Manifesto. This is basically a Bible to all broker’s and insurance companies a like. It enables us to know exactly what is going on with in the industry and how BIBA are representing us as an industry. Some really exciting stuff was discussed regarding risk.
Below is a short clip of just a few highlights from the days events. See if you can spot us. We made the final cut.
In conclusion, in the past two days we have managed to build on existing relationships, made new ones and found out exactly what direction the insurance industry is heading. In all BIBA is a fantastic opportunity for all independent brokers to see what markets are out there for our clients so that we can then deliver only the highest standards of cover at the right premiums. The main advantage of using CISL as a broker is that we promise to get all claims paid out as fast and efficiently as possible.
