    I can’t say enough good things about working with Anoop Wallia from Clyde Brokers.

    As a travel agent, insurance can get a bit overwhelming, but he made everything super simple. He really took the time to understand my business and set me up with the right coverage — from liability, contents to building insurance. It's been such a relief knowing I’m covered if anything unexpected comes up.

    Super helpful, easy to talk to, and always quick to respond. Sorted out a claim for me in double quick time.

  • – Jay Singh. Regent Property, Glasgow

    I’ve worked with several insurance brokers over the years, but none have come close to the level of service and expertise I consistently receive from Clyde Brokers.

    Time after time, he has gone above and beyond to provide clear guidance, competitive quotes, and genuine care. His professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge make him my go-to for all insurance needs.

    Highly recommended!

    Clyde Brokers have been instrumental in securing the perfect bespoke insurance policies for my businesses over the past couple of years.

    The complexity of our requirements was carefully considered and addressed with meticulous attention to detail before any policies were purchased. This level of service is something I could never have achieved through an insurance company’s website or a comparison platform. The cost savings alone from using Clyde Brokers have been substantial.

    I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • - Wanida Donaldson. Managing Director, Sakaeo Scotland Ltd, West End, Glasgow

    I would like to thank you for all your assistance and guidance in respect of our PL & Operating insurance cover.

    Having spent several weeks trawling through complicated policy options with price comparison sites we were astounded at how much money Clyde Brokers saved on our annual premiums. Low cost was not our concern. Value and cover was paramount. You took the time to explain the pro's and con's and guided us without pressure.

    We would have no hesitation in recommending your company to new start-up businesses and established companies looking for cover.

    5* from start to finish.

    We’ve been with Clyde Brokers for a few years now and can honestly say they’ve been fantastic to deal with.

    When we had a break-in three years ago, the process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their team. They handled all the paperwork and made sure everything was taken care of quickly. What we really appreciated was how involved they were from the start — they actually came out to our premises, sat down with us, and made sure we had the right cover in place. It’s rare to find that kind of personal service these days.

    Highly recommend Clyde Brokers — they genuinely look after their clients.

    I’ve been working with Anoop for 2 years and I’m extremely impressed with how they handled my recent insurance claim of water damage. From the moment I filed my claim, Anoop took control of the situation, making sure everything was processed smoothly and efficiently.

    I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I’ve received. From the start, Anoop was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly approachable, making the often-complicated process of selecting insurance policies much easier to navigate.

    What truly stood out to me was his attentiveness to my unique needs. Anoop took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options in detail, and helped me in many circumstances. I felt like my best interests were always at the forefront of our conversations.
