Professional, helpful and efficient.

KBI have provided our company with all our insurance needs for the past few years. During that time they have been exemplary in their approach. Highly recommended.

Storm Taylor, Office Manager

Discovery Capital Partners

The KBI Directors’ & Officers’ team are my go to insurance brokers for publicly traded companies that I am involved with. They are one of the few brokerages that passionately understand the junior public company space.

The explanation and comparison they provide makes it easy for our key executives to make an informed decision. I regularly recommend their services to other public companies in need of Directors’ & Officers’ insurance and other operational insurances.

Eddie King, Director

King Corporate

Having dealt with Nick and Travis for insurance needs for both small and medium-sized businesses it’s safe to say they know what they are doing and genuinely have their clients’ best interests at heart.

No matter how small an enquiry, Nick is always at the ready and has a solution back to you in no time. I’ve recommended them to others and have had the same feedback given to me in regards to their professionalism, availability to answer questions and the solutions they’ve provided.

Emma Kenton, Small Business Owner

Great Minds Group

Travis and this team have done a great job providing effective and supportive advice to our company over several years now.

Travis understands the value of service very well and we really appreciate it.

Anthony Kain, Executive Director

Peppermint Innovation Limited

Since being introduced to KBI, I have found their professionalism to be second to none in the industry.

I strongly recommend KBI as the insurance broker of choice regarding Commercial Property Insurance. They know the Commercial sector inside out and operate on a different level to any other broker I’ve worked with. When it comes to service, they always go above and beyond and ensure my clients are provided with the best available insurance options every year – 10/10.

Toby Bridges, Director

Lever Property Group

I’ve been working with the KBI team for four years and their service has been excellent.

They take the time to answer all my questions and give me great guidance when renewing my policies and making a claim. I would strongly recommend KBI.

Ryan Budge, Property Owner

Commercial Property

Reflecting on the past year, we extend our thanks for the unwavering support and exceptional services provided by KBI.

This year has presented its challenges, and having KBI by our side has made a significant difference. Your team’s dedication, support, and guidance have been invaluable, and we are truly grateful.
