  • When my business suffered a significant fire in one of our machines, both our brokers, L Wood & Co and insurers, RSA, responded quickly and provided me with expert advice and support. Thankfully L Wood had recommended the use of a Loss Assessor who helped us with the claim negotiation and within a few weeks we have our business back running as normal again with the purchase of a new machine and all other associated issues swiftly resolved enabling us to avoid any disruption to our customers. I would like to thank our Insurance Brokers, RSA Insurance and the Loss Assessor for helping settle this claim as swiftly and as painlessly as possible.

  • In an industry that is somewhat confusing with ever changing regulations, Tom and Kevin at L Wood & Co Ltd have consistently provided excellent advice on the levels of insurance we require. As a global company with offices across the world, our insurance requirements are specialised and they have always provided excellent service and good advice. I have no doubts in recommending L Wood to anyone that requires a tailored insurance programme.

  • We have continuously insured our commercial, property and motor fleet policies with L Wood & Co Ltd for over 3 years and have always been very impressed with the reliable and bespoke service they provide. Tom Wood and his team combine personality with flair and imagination. They take the time to meet with us at renewal to ensure that if there are any changes in the business that the correct level of cover is applied. I would not hesitate in recommending L Wood & Co Ltd and its services to other businesses. We have a high level of confidence in Tom and his team and should the worst happen we feel comforted that they would be there to assist us every step of the way.

  • The L Wood and Co Team are everything that you could want in an insurance brokerage. They provide great personalised service at very competitive rates. Over the past 12 years this team has kept up with my ever changing needs for our business insurance. The real test of an insurance Broker is when you have a claim. When the worst happened and we needed to look to L Wood to support us through the claim process they really looked after us. They made what could have been a nightmare into a much nicer experience, given the circumstances. Both Kevin and Tom Wood have such extensive experience in working with my industry type that I would not hesitate in recommending their services to others.
