Testimonials by County

I was personally delighted when Denmead Parish Council agreed at their Finance meeting last night to continue with the Came & Company/Aviva Scheme and enter into a 3 year LTA. Having looked at premiums over the years, with the Came & Company/Aviva Scheme, the premiums have been stable and allowed our Council to come in on Budget. Previous to this the Council had always exceeded budget.
Whilst cost is always an important issue, what has also been pleasing is the cover provided and the service received from Came & Company with their dedicated Parish Council Desk. Whilst I know that you do business with many Councils, I am made to feel that I am your only client. I hope other Councils feel the same and continue to support your initiative in giving the Sector a quality alternative to what we had before.
My personal thanks to you and your team for the work that went into setting up the Scheme, and your continued commitment to the Sector.

After a thorough review of the market, we are pleased to confirm that the Council has decided that Came & Company are still the ‘best option’, and as a result, would like to sign a new 3 year agreement. The councillors believe your service and the cover you offer are superior to that of the alternative provider, and ultimately the decision was a pretty easy one.

As Clerk to two Parish Council's I have found Came & Company Parish Council Insurance beneficial for cost and the no hassle transfer and subsequent helpful assistance first rate. Their specialist staff are a real bonus when you have queries.

Having been provided with Came & Company Parish Council Insurance details as an alternative insurance provider for Parish Councils and obtained a quote our Council was extremely pleased that the quote was so competitive. We have also found Came & Company fast and effective in dealing with any enquiries we have raised and would have no hesitation in recommending them to other Parish Councils.

Came & Company Parish Council Insurance offered a much more competitive quotation than our previous longstanding insurer, especially for a three-year agreement. Moreover, their paperwork was clear and straightforward and their handling of telephone enquiries, not just at renewal time but afterwards, was efficient and helpful.

We switched to Came and Company Parish Council Insurance in June 2009. The new policy is more comprehensive and appropriate for our Parish. With the 3-year agreement we have saved almost 20% on premium. No experience yet on any claims.

After receiving an email from Came & Company Parish Council Insurance, the Clerk had a long talk with Mr Came, (who was extremely helpful) to discuss Parish Council insurance and found him most knowledgeable.

Freshwater Parish Council subsequently agreed the Clerk send details of their insurance schedule in order to obtain a quotation for their annual insurance premium. What a great surprise - Came & Company Parish Council Insurance were able to give Freshwater Parish Council better cover yet still save them £867 per year by reducing the premium and offering a further 5% for the 3 year long term agreement. No argument is there?

Burham Parish Council utilized the same insurance company for several years. It was suggested to us that when our insurance was due for renewal that we contact Came & Company Parish Council Insurance for a quotation.

(Not something you always come across or see in this day and age!!!!!!!!!).

Having recently taken over as clerk to the Parish Council one of my first jobs was to carry out an audit of services provided and updating the insurance provision was my first task. Having obtained 3 quotations we found Came and Company Parish Council Insurances' Aviva quotation to be the most competitive, providing all areas of insurance that we required.

Soon after the policy started we needed to make a claim due to vandalism of a notice board. Never before had a claim been so simple, after one telephone call and proof of quotation to the company a cheque was on my desk even before the replacement board had been delivered. We also run an annual firework display which has I believe caused problems with the previous insurers but everything this year was covered - all we had to do was provide copies of our risk assessments.

Communication with the company is always dealt with in a friendly, yet professional manner. As County Support Officer for Kent, I will have no hesitation in recommending Came & Company Parish council Insurance to fellow clerks in the county.

Queries are always responded to the same day and documentation is issued promptly.

As a former commercial insurance underwriter I was also very impressed with the scope of cover. I have recommended Came & Company to several of my fellow Clerks.

We transferred to Came & Company Parish Council Insurance as we got far got a higher level of insurance cover for a lower premium, and we had heard of their good reputation.

Very soon after, we suffered a major loss following a burst. We were struggling somewhat to get the work done but after their staff got hold of the problems, all was done quickly and to our great satisfaction. The claim did not affect our premium and we were looked after as though we'd been with them for years. It's so useful to have somebody at the end of the line who knows the business and us as clients, and who also has a 'feel' for Parish Councils. You don't get that in call centres!

I have just had to make my first ever claim for a Parish Council in my 12 years as a Clerk, and I just wanted to say thank you to Came & Company for dealing with it so quickly, especially given that we have had Christmas and New Year in between. We already have the cheque from you and I am very impressed!

Came & Company Parish Council Insurance was contacted during routine review of our insurance premium, what was totally unexpected was that the quote came back showing a huge saving compared to the existing premium we were paying. Added to that we were pleasantly surprised that events we held during the year were also covered by this premium having previously had to take out separate insurance cover as those arose.

Not only does this represent Best Value but I can honestly say that with the increased demands from my Parish Council due to implementing two major projects my confidence in them has grown and in my experience each an every member of the staff respond to our needs in an accurate, efficient and friendly manner.

I work for two small councils and now have both with Came & Company. I find the people I deal with at Came & Company to be helpful and well informed, but most reassuringly they give really sensible & clear advice that can be applied to my councils. I have no hesitation recommending them to other small councils.

May I thank you for the prompt and courteous service we have received from your company. In an age where good customer service seems to be wavering, it is most refreshing to encounter some!

I am Parish Clerk for two neighbouring parishes, although they are very different operationally and demographically. However they both have one thing in common in that budgets are always tight and insurance is always the biggest issue, as it represents the largest percentage of expenditure. Came & Company Parish Council Insurance provided a superb quote with comprehensive cover exceeding our expectations (and our last year's insurance cover) at a price which saved a significant amount on our last premium.

Furthermore, we received first class customer support: queries were answered immediately and information provided by return. They understand Parish Councils-how they work and what they need. Now all we need is a bank who can do the same!

Although we have not been insured with Came & Company Parish Council Insurance very long we have received quick and helpful service at a reduced cost to our previous provider. I am therefore happy to recommend them to other parish councils.

I am now recommending Came & Company Parish Council Insurance and the Aviva Parish Council Policy to fellow parish council clerks. When you have something so good, you have to pass it on!

The Aviva Policy has been a welcome addition to the parish council world. I asked for four quotes for my four councils who all decided to change as a result of the cover and price. Staff at Came & Company Parish Council Insurance have been very helpful and answered my queries very quickly.

One concern was if they would know how parish councils work. They do! I would recommend that all parish councils look at their cover and premiums before their next renewal.

Great Wyrley Parish Council had been insured with the same insurance company for many years and in early 2010 it decided that it was time to test the market. A number of providers were approached and amongst those were Came and Company Parish Council Insurance.

They were able to provide a quotation that not only was considerably cheaper than that offered by the original company, but offered a much wider cover and in some cases the level of cover was higher too. The Council had no hesitation in transferring its insurance cover to Aviva thus providing best value for local residents.
