Goldcrest Insurance for all your Business & Personal Insurances

Goldcrest Insurance is an insurance brokerage which has been in business since 1975. Initially we were a predominantly personal line which is car insurance, van insurance and home insurance. We moved into the commercial lines insurance (fleet insurance, mini fleet insurance, landlords insurance, business insurance, HMO (Home of Multiple Occupancy) insurance etc.) as an extended arm in the early 90’s and now that book of business has outgrown the personal lines book. We are always keen to take on car and home insurance as we find a lot of customers still prefer to use a broker.

Why Work with an Independent Insurance Broker?

Comparison websites present standardised products. They cannot assess the specifics of a listed building, a multi-property portfolio, a specialist vehicle, or a complex commercial operation. And when a claim is rejected because of a clause buried in the policy wording, there is no one to call.

At Goldcrest, we make it our business to understand your risks properly. We explain every exclusion in plain terms, benchmark your cover across multiple insurers, and stand behind the advice we give. If you need to claim, we are with you every step of the way.

That is what a broker is for.

Goldcrest Insurance

A Different Kind of Insurance Company

Goldcrest Insurance has been helping clients find the right cover since 1975. We are not a comparison website, and we are not a call centre. We are a team of experienced brokers who take the time to understand what you actually need, and to make sure your policy genuinely delivers when you need to claim.

Starting life in Barnet as a high street insurance broker, over five decades, our book of business has grown. From personal insurance products into specialist commercial, property, fleet, and high-net-worth cover. Today we work with private clients, landlords, contractors, and businesses across London, Barnet, and the whole of the UK.

What has not changed is our approach. Every quote is tailored. Every client is spoken to directly. And our 90% renewal retention reflects the relationships we build, not just the premiums we place.

Why do people still like to use a broker and not just go online? Well we are insurance specialists and make sure that the policy you have is a perfect fit for you and what you need. By going on line there is a large exposure, there is no one to tell you what you are and aren’t covered for. So when making a saving it does not make for such an excited feeling if not being paid out, due to not being insured properly. At Goldcrest we educate our clients well and get them involved in reading the policy wording, which most throw way or never read properly.

We are a high street insurance broker in Barnet and deal with a lot of local businesses, as well as that we have a book of business which covers the whole of Great Britain. The majority of our new business is word of mouth which is the best source.

We have a 90 percent renewal retention which is fantastic and means clients are very happy with what we offer; you can read what some of our satisfied customers say in the testimonials. We are an extremely pro-active insurance broker and are always on the lookout for news rates on the market and securing the best deals with current insurers. This always keeps us ahead of the game when quoting new business and retaining renewals.
