What We Offer
Experience
Hughes-Gibb was the first London market broker exclusively dedicated to bloodstock insurance and has more than 40 years experience in this area. Our longevity is testament to our enduring commitment to the changing needs of our clients.
Our principals have many years' experience in the bloodstock insurance industry. Our industry knowledge and skills have been further enhanced by personal work experience in racing, breeding, showjumping, dressage, showing and public auction.
Innovation
The increasingly global nature of the bloodstock insurance industry and the diverse requirements of our worldwide clients mean we are at the forefront of product development. We continually seek ways to add value on behalf of our clients.
Claims
Insurance companies must act quickly and efficiently when reacting to a claim. We endeavour to ask the right questions of our clients upfront. This approach reduces the occurrence of contentious situations, enabling prompt agreement and payment of claims.
Insurers/security
We have fostered our relationships with our principal markets over many years. The quality of the business we place with these markets and our reputation for integrity with clients and insurers alike, means we enjoy unrivalled service in negotiating terms on behalf of our clients and ongoing administration of policies and payment of claims.
Our demanding security committee rejects the use of insurance companies whose financial strength or inadequate performance are inconsistent with the requirements of our clients.
Current Clients
The best endorsement we can evidence is the quality of the people we represent. The majority of our clients have been with us for more than five years and many for in excess of 25 years.
