About - ERC

Mission

To uncover what matters, identify where protection may be incomplete and build purposeful layers of insurance around each client’s actual needs.

01 — Our Approach

THINK OF INSURANCE LIKE A BURGER™

Not every policy needs every layer, but every layer should protect something that matters.

Every Layer. A Clear Purpose.™

03 — Our Signature Principle

Vision

For insurance to be chosen with understanding—where no layer is added without reason and no important risk is left unexplored.

02 — Our Ambition

Making every layer of insurance easier to understand.

ERC brings experience, practical advice and a fresh perspective to help individuals and businesses understand what they are protecting and why each layer of cover matters.

Our direction

Leadership

Two perspectives shaped by decades of insurance experience, independent thinking and a shared commitment to helping clients make better decisions.

What I do for ERC

I have worked in insurance since 1986 and have served as Technical Advisor to ERC since 2018. I support the team by reviewing complex risks, challenging assumptions and helping clients make informed and practical insurance decisions.

I began my insurance career as a broker in 1986, developing practical experience in understanding the needs of insurance buyers and working with insurers to structure appropriate solutions.

Since 2018, I have served as Technical Advisor to ERC, supporting the team on complex risks, coverage considerations and key client matters.

My role is to bring a considered perspective to each situation. I review the issues, challenge assumptions where necessary and help identify practical solutions that reflect the client’s circumstances, responsibilities and priorities.

I believe good insurance advice begins with understanding the risk, not simply selecting a policy. Whether ERC is assisting an individual, an SME or a corporate organisation, my focus is to help clarify the options, explain the implications and support decisions that are informed and responsible.

How I see my role

Insurance needs continue to change as businesses, lifestyles and risks evolve. My contribution to ERC is to combine experience with sound judgement, helping the team remain practical, responsive and focused on what genuinely matters to each client.

My aim is simple: to help clients understand the decisions before them and make those decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

Founder

Read full profile

I have worked in the insurance industry since 1984, building experience across client advisory, insurance placement and business leadership. Since establishing ERC in 2008, my focus has been to help individuals and businesses understand their risks, make informed decisions and put suitable protection in place.

I am an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute (ACII), UK, and hold the Chartered Insurance Broker designation. While these qualifications have provided an important professional foundation, much of what I believe about insurance has also been shaped by years of working with clients and understanding the situations they face. It has reinforced my belief that insurance advice should be clear, responsible and always centred on what the client genuinely needs.

At ERC, my role is to provide direction, maintain strong insurer and industry relationships, and ensure that every recommendation is supported by sound judgement and a clear purpose. Whether we are helping an individual protect a family and personal assets or advising a business on more complex exposures, the same principles apply: listen carefully, explain clearly and recommend only what is relevant.

Looking ahead, I believe technology will make insurance more accessible and responsive, but trusted advice will remain essential. Our aim is to combine personal service, professional expertise and practical digital solutions so that clients receive timely support and feel confident about the protection they choose.

For me, insurance is not simply about arranging a policy. It is about understanding what matters, identifying where protection may be incomplete and helping clients prepare for what comes next.
