When I needed advice, Henry has been swift at assistance, which has made me feel like my business matters and I’m not just another setting. Unique, understanding and helpful are three ways to describe the service I receive.”

“After being with my current insurer for almost 22 years it is a big move, changing companies. Shirley from Pound Gates’ nursery support team rang me and had such a nice manner and was so honest, it made me think seriously. There is not a lot of difference in what it cost, but the cover is much more agreeable and practical for a nursery business. I look forward to having a good relationship with our new insurance company.”
