Based in the historical town of Rochford in Essex we offer a comprehensive insurance service throughout the United Kingdom. From sole traders to multi-million turnover organisations, we pride ourselves on delivering the same quality service whatever the size of your business.

GRS is committed to providing an outstanding level of service to both existing and prospective clients. We undertake a full fact find at the enquiry stage to help us understand all aspects of your business, and then formulate a detailed risk presentation for insurers on your behalf. This provides insurers the opportunity to put forward their best possible pricing.

We are members of the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) and fully conform to their general operating standards and procedures.

Our considerable market expertise, built up over many years operating in a specialist trade sector, puts us in a unique position to offer free advice and assistance to a diversity of clients from a basic owner run business to the more complex risk.

When considering their insurance requirements many businesses will inevitably focus on their legal liability exposures to employees and third parties, potentially areas of greatest concern.
