New Member Spotlight on The Cronin Insurance Consultancy
The FEA has a new Associate Member, The Cronin Insurance Consultancy. They kindly spent some time to tell us more about their company.
1. Tell us about how your business got started.
The business was started by Darren Cronin with over 30 years’ experience in the industry, previously working with national companies at client director level whereby he believes service standards are being driven by economics for how much a client pays and that service standards are being overlooked. Therefore, there is a huge opportunity for businesses like Cronin’s where the broker values the client relationship above all else.
2. What do you love most about the foodservice equipment industry?
For us it’s the people and their passion to thrive in the industry. Being able to support award winning customers with associated service products that match their expectation and service standards is a unique opportunity.
3. What is the biggest challenge for your business right now?
The insurance industry is going through a “hard market”, which in basic terms means insurers are being less flexible with their underwriting terms and predominantly looking at cost v technical rate, which more often than not means an increase in premium.
4. What are the drawing factors for joining FEA?
To provide professional advice and unrivalled services with a proven track record to the foodservice industry, where Cronin’s have exclusive insurer arrangements and expertise in this arena, whereby our experience can identify exposures and possible consequences that has enabled us to become a leading supplier to the industry.
5. Anything else you’d like to add?
Cronin’s offer a non-obligational review by qualified personnel for FEA members current commercial insurance programmes, regardless of when the renewal date is due. Get in contact with one of the team on 0330 0552 761. Our promise is not to waste your time, if it’s not broken, we will not try to fix it. However, it is worth noting that over 90% of the risks that we see, we believe we would do something different that will add value.
