    • From day one on taking over our business account Stewart Harker (Director) saved our business a considerable sum of money by going the extra yards in the detail making sure the Business was insured correctly, in the right category for our business and not paying for cover we did not need or was not relevant to our business.

      Alone this was an outstanding effort, but having needed to make a claim recently is where Stewart and his team truly showed their pedigree, absolute flawless commitment to acting on our behalf and handling every aspect of the claim from start to finish with an outcome in our favour that exceeded my expectations.

      The level of service and professionalism I have received from Stewart and the experienced professionals at Citycover is unparalleled. You can take heart in the fact that Stewart isn’t just trying to sell you something, he legitimately cares about his clients and their well-being with Citycover. I highly recommend them.
