Marsh Commercial Omdömen 

Nick Hammett is very unprofessional and is the Vice President of the company. Be aware if you look at using this broker for joke business. You get internal emails being sent about you like the below giving advice that he is not qualified to do so. I have logged a complaint and will let the FCA review his comments and qualifications.

I have never seen anything like this, I think what is becoming very clear is he is getting no legal advice – there is no case law to my knowledge that would support his claim.

He seems to think bombarding you with emails, coping everyone including Harry will get him what he wants.

Richard – I know you have had issued opening the emails, but they are the thread below. Are you able to appoint legal counsel to send correspondence to Mr B*** – there seems to be no credibility to his claim or risk to the policy, but he is making his self a nuisance and coping the BJS MD in.

They also tried taking my review down but Trustpilot denied it!

Tried telephone them for three days regarding an insurance claim, but no one answered. E mailed but no one answered.Eventually got through to their Dundee office by calling London. Seems that after you have paid the premium they have lost interest in you. Changed to another Dundee broker and got great service at a lesser premium cost.

I would not recommend Marsh to anyone, at no point did I feel that Marsh were working for me or really trying to help me; it felt more the other way around that I was working for them as I always had to chase them for documents and responses.

I will try to summarise bellow the main issues for easier reading.

*Renewal documents sent out to you suspiciously close to your renewal date e.g a week or 2 before*
(Is this because they don't want you to have enough time to get a quote from else where? Ill let you decide.)

*Massive commissions for policy's for them*
when I moved away from marsh to a different broker, my quote for the same cover and one of the policy's was with exactly the same provider, was less than half what marsh quoted.. marsh = approx. £10k new broker = approx. £5k same provider, cover and policy number. All the new broker did was fight my corner to get the best price (something marsh should have been doing) and he did let me know that marsh might have been on as much as a 30% commission for that policy so they wanted there £2,400 pay day more than doing what anyone would expect them to do as insurance brokers check the market and get me the best price.

*they did not check the market rates*
Marsh didn't approach other companies to make sure I was getting the best rates as they presumed I was happy with who I was with... even though I had showed massive dissatisfaction with the price I was paying which was pretty much just shrugged off. Which left me feeling like well tough luck that's the price see you next year when we fleece you again.

Sadly I had been with marsh for many years and like many people hate having to deal with insurance and marsh never made it any better all that has been achieved over all those years is me paying thousands over what I should have paid for there commissions and I am left accumulatively tens of thousands of pounds worse off, I really just wished I had changed broker so so much sooner and stopped essentially working for marsh and paying for big bonuses for them, that they didn't do anywhere near enough work to earn.

Do not use this company. The customer service is awful and extremely slow - unless they want to get money from you. They delay in paying out for as long as possible and they take ages to respond to emails.
I would not recommend to anyone.

We've used march Commercial for 3+ years for all our insurance requirements and customer service is absolutely shocking. I have to chase numerous times for any of my emails to be responded to. A very frustrating business to work with.

We have used Marsh exclusively over the past 10+ years on a range of insurance products. Their business model has changed over the last few years and rather than having a dedicated insurance broker you are now "looked after" by anyone in one of many teams spread over the country. What this means in reality is that we have had insurances lapse leaving us exposed, properties doubly insured different Marsh teams, insurance cover requested but not placed. Furthermore their prices are particularly uncompetitive having now looked elsewhere. Its a real shame but the distributed service model does not work and the customer service is now woeful. There doesnt appear to be a reason to use Marsh any longer.

Marsh McLennan rubbish volunteers were caught fly-tipping several bags of rubbish into our medical clinic bin at the front of our building via CCTV footage this morning at 10:48, 63 Mansell Street in E1.
Not great publicity for a big firm!

I have been with Marsh Commercial for 7 years. I have rental houses, last year for 3 houses I paid £1,127.53 and this year for TWO houses it’s £1,026.09. They don't even sign the emails with a name. I wrote and asked why the sudden increase and there is no reason. All that came back was "I have looked at the market in depth for you and this is the best offer we were able to obtain from our panel".

Terrible. They do not address your questions, plus, they do not honour rebates. Business insurance with them is too expensive.

The worst experience ever dealing with one of your Brokers.
Incorrect information submitted to the insurance department. No one can give feedback where to log a dispute for the declined claim. I would like to name this brokers name who submitted this incorrect information. I would rate her a 0 on her bad Service.

The Most Frustrating Experience – Stay Away!
Dealing with Marsh McLennan Agency has been the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had with an insurance company. Their representatives are unresponsive, their processes are painfully slow, and their customer service is completely useless. It feels like they go out of their way to make things more difficult for their clients.

I was promised clear communication and efficient service—what I got instead was endless delays, vague responses, and constant runarounds. It’s almost impossible to get a straight answer, and when they finally do respond, it’s with more excuses than solutions.

If you value your time, sanity, and money, avoid this company at all costs. There are far more professional and reliable firms out there. I regret ever trusting them with my business, and I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

After many years loyal custom Marsh doubled their insurance quote for our small business without proper explanation. Their commission amounted to £217 on the £110 cost of a simple Public Liability policy, 66%!
As our property management business had no difficulty in finding alternative quotes on digitized comparison platforms I cannot accept that manual placement of our risk was needed because of unique requirements- this was Marsh's sole justification of their hefty commission.
Either price gouging or an aversion to micro businesses it seems. Small businesses look elsewhere.

Have spent the last week emailing them in respect of fraudulent conduct on a claim and they refuse to reply despite their full knowledge of the urgency of the criminal issues.

Appalling service, had insurance with them for a few years and our policy was due for renewal, gave them a month in advance to sort me a quote for cover and they message me on the day it expires telling me the price has doubled, despite emailing them several times for an update, leaving my business with no cover. Not Good Dom, poor service

We are a small business who received a quote for insurance back March/April for £4300. We paid the premium. Then a few days later we were advised the premium had increased to around £11,000! Then a few days £12000+. Yes it is unbelievable. I sought legal advice as I had already paid the agreed premium. I was advised to return to Marsh to advise that this was their error and they should sought it financially. I sent an email advising them of my view. I received an email stating that the Management team were considering my issue and reviewing it. By the way that was April 24. Today I have, can you believe received an invoice from March for £12,300 again! No response to my email sent 4 months ago, when I was advised by JL it was being reviewed. The demand is for £12300 with no acknowledgement of me paying £4300 back in April. Please do not insure with these. Staff are not trained. They don't get back to you. If you don't want any more stress running a business I would advise don't go to Marsh. Policy ref 4225842

Absolutely rubbish service, We have our care home mini bus (which is actually a car) insured with them. one accident in 5 years it was our fault unfortunately. No replacement vehicle supplied while ours was being repaired. Had to hire one at a cost of £750 per week for three weeks then when we picked up our vehicle we had to pay the VAT on repairs so for a front bumper repair the total cost including vehicle hire was £4050 and this doesn't include the extra cost to cover the hire vehicle which was charged. the premium for insurance is £3000!! we are a care provider and are not allowed to be VAT registered yet the customer service person from March said "you have to pay the VAT because you are a business and can claim this back" and disregarded the fact that we are not allowed to be VAT registered. Marsh took over Blue fin Insurance who we used to use and were great However, Marsh seem to be total Rubbish stay clear!

If I could put ZERO I WOULD !
