I have had all my insurance policies with semi but lately when I tried to renew my business insurance I could not get through to any one. I called many times and left voice messages also let a free request online for someone to get back to me but no response. 😡

Well I certainly can't complain...this firm has been my insurance company for many many years and although thankfully I've never had to make a claim yet...my premium is very good value for the cover I have ....being small fry as the saying goes.
Lee has been my personal agent and lives locally near me too and always goes through everything meticulously with me as he understands my position and everything is explained with immense clarity ....with no vague areas so that had there to be a claim ever neither party can say otherwise.
Sometimes people want to be told what they want to hear but I think

Very poor we pay £196.67 a month and we needed a Claim we have quotations done to cost of the work was 11k they sent loss adjuster
Who agreed to work but then said my pub was under insured so there can now only pay out £1500 of the 11k as the pub was only insured for a rebuild of 300,000 but the loss adjuster said it would cost 1.2 million not in a million years to rebuild this pub for 1.2 million I could build a whole estate for that money just trying to get out of it
So is the pub was to burn down it would not of paid out as it was undervalued jokes
Avoid at all costs

Cold call on a Leeds telephone number and hang up when you answer. Called them back and they apologised and wanted more personal details so I refused and told them I would report them to the TPS for all the good it will do. Might report them to the FCA too for cold calling looking for insurance business. Complete PITA!

After having received quotes from several security system installers, and other insurance companies i approached SME ins services.
SME gave me a quote, which I accepted and paid for. However, after going back to an installer, I was informed there were further costs involved of which I had not been told of. Further enquiries were to prove that the level of security that I had been told, that would be needed turned out to be wildly excessive. After yet further investigations, I called SME back and explained what had happened. Their response was BRILLIANT.
I explained what I needed, and what level

Do NOT go with these Robbers 3 times they have messed up just canceled my renewal with them went on simply business and the same cover with the same insurer 200 pounds less than SME
If you have a claim do not think that you will get anywhere with it they have more loop holes and excuses than you could ever emagian...
Joke of a company
Strongly recommend do not use these as brokers you are not protected. They are happy to explain about how to take your money and go in to the fine print. But fail to mention the fine print when it comes to what you are covered for !!!!!!
