Gibbs Laidler Risk and Insurance Annual Conference
“This was a superb event and fantastically organised by Gibbs Laidler. The topics were well presented and very informative and the opportunity for networking with other attendees made the event that bit more special. Big thanks to Jeff, Chris, and James for their hospitality and for supplying all the first class food, drink and accommodation.” Sovereign —Janette Layfield, Insurance Officer
Insurance Procurement Helpline
Start the process on receiving impartial advice on a range of Insurance issues to help you make the right decisions.
Paul Richmond, Group Director of Finance Resources, Watford Community Housing
“We recently completed an insurance tender and used the services of Gibbs Laidler. The tender resulted in a significant reduction in the cost of insurance, delivering a balanced approach to cost and quality and their assistance throughout the process has helped to raise the profile of insurance and the management of insurable risk across the organisation”.
Keith Petty, Insurance Manager, London & Quadrant Group
“With over 90,000 units, we require the services of an organisation which can work with London & Quadrant to consider the different insurance solutions available. We retain Gibbs Laidler in this capacity as the insurance market continues to change and our approach to insurance needs to adapt to these changes”
Paul Francis, Group Insurance Risk Manager, Network Housing Association
“Network Housing Association initially used Gibbs Laidler to assist with an insurance tender. We have worked with them for the last ten years on a retained basis assisting the group with insurance and risk issues as we grow and develop. Their help with development risks has been particularly beneficial.”
Social Value – Gibbs Laidler in the Community
We love to find ways to give back to local communities across the UK and help make a difference. Our most recent charity of choice is Centre 56, a centre and after school club aimed at providing fun trips and activities for children who have either experienced domestic abuse or crisis situations in their lives. Centre 56 organises day trips to local parks, beaches and museums for young people, some of which may not usually have the opportunity due to home life or lack of finances.
