2. Innovative solutions,
personal service
Good insurance brokers should listen carefully to their clients,
understand what is required and faithfully and intelligently
reflect this to insurers.
An accurate and economic insurance portfolio must be
delivered with an attentive and consistent level of service,
both in the adequate and prompt settlement of claims and
the changing needs of the client.
We at Lucas Fettes & Partners take great pride in our skill,
courtesy and attention to detail.
The high quality of our staff, our close relationships with
clients and our standing in the underwriting market ensure
a quality of service which distinguishes us from the larger
insurance brokers and cannot be offered by the smaller.
These traits can be found throughout our Group, extending to
our corporate and personal financial planning services as well
as our wholesale insurance facilities.

7. We specialise in providing insurance solutions to
individuals who require a highly personalised service.
We understand discerning clients
and have a depth and breadth of
knowledge and experience. We
employ professionals who genuinely
understand the true nature of your
insurance requirements and provide a
tailored solution to suit your needs.
We also recognise that with period
properties, antiques and other
high value items it is of paramount
importance that your specific needs
are catered for and, in the event
of a claim, the restoration, repair
or replacement is undertaken by a
specialist.
Our solutions offer wide-ranging cover
and a claims service that often allows
our clients to use their preferred
suppliers and contractors.
Some of the insurers we use will
provide free valuations for buildings,
contents and fine art.
With the pressures and pace of
modern life, we appreciate it is
sometimes easy to overlook security,
for example forgetting to set your
alarm. We are therefore often able to
arrange policies which are not subject
to alarm conditions.
In addition we can offer access to
security specialists and provide advice
and guidance on security measures.
Sometimes simple solutions such
as photographing or videoing your
valuables and storing these securely
away from your home can facilitate a
speedy and fair claims process.
Our solutions can include extra covers
such as Identity Fraud and Legal
Expenses.
Our insurance solutions
Our clients have direct access to
our insurance specialists and will
be given a primary contact to
deal with on a day-to-day basis. In
addition, our clients have access
to the directors of the company,
who maintain a close involvement
in the day-to-day management of
the business.
We can insure:
• Buildings including period and
thatched properties
• Contents including antiques and
fine art
• Holiday homes both in the UK
and abroad
• Motor including classic cars
• Yachts and motor boats

and maximise the impact of what you
spend.

team of financial advisers will be

and its employees.

these impact upon the company,
its employees or the benefit
arrangements in place, reviewing our
advice where appropriate.

experienced team of administrators
works closely with our clients and
their benefit providers to ensure
cost-effective and smooth day-to-day
running of their arrangements.

12. Providing access to specialist markets
and underwriting facilities for brokers
13. Wholesale & Sub
Agents Facilities
The Lucas Fettes & Partners wholesale division provides access
to specialist markets and underwriting facilities for insurance
brokers through an experienced team with a dedicated point
of contact for each broker. As accredited Lloyd’s brokers, this
includes access to Lloyd’s of London Markets and Facilities.
Our dedicated team of wholesale
brokers has the experience and
knowledge to work with other
insurance brokers and intermediaries,
helping them to find alternative
markets for their clients that better
suit their needs.
Lucas Fettes & Partners is able to
assist if you are having difficulty with
the placement of a risk, or if you just

We pride ourselves on operating
within the strictest timescales,
underwriting a variety of risks and
issuing all documents for these risks
promptly including schedules and
Employers’Liability certificates.
Our Lloyd’s brokers meet with
underwriters daily, enabling them to

range of risks, including perceived
high risk trades for Material Damage,

15. Professional Connections
As independent insurance brokers and
financial advisers we have significant
experience in working as part of
a team with a client’s professional
advisers.
In addition, it is recognised by many
professionals that there is a need to
engender ongoing and long-term
relationships with clients, which
can only be achieved through
demonstrating the ongoing value
they add as a trusted adviser.
This includes the involvement of
other associated and trusted services
where the client has a need. We
have developed a proposition that
caters to this need and provides
other professionals the ability to
offer an extensive range of services
to their clients through referral type
arrangements, white labelled services
or joint ventures for those of a
sufficient size to justify this.
We believe that by creating
professional partnerships, both parties
can benefit as the range of services
on offer differentiates us from our
competitors and future competition.
Our proposition includes consultancy
and associated services, proposition
enhancement, referrals and a
commitment to work in partnership
to the client’s benefit through the
services covered in this brochure.
At Lucas Fettes & Partners, we understand that many clients
require a multi-disciplined approach to their personal or
corporate affairs to enable them to plan and implement the
best course of action for their current and future needs.
