Extremely helpful. They were able to step out each stage of the process. Clearly identified and advised on my risks and was able to place cover when others couldnt.

Easily the best broker we've ever used. They helped us find better cover than we've ever had before. We eventually had a claim and their claims management was fantastic. Excellent service and very knowledgeable staff.

Rang up Gow Gates a number of times to get a quote. I chose them because they are an established brand. Was put through to Alain on each occasion who said he would send me an Insurance Proposal form. Two weeks later still waiting. Poor impression left on a potential new business customer. I wonder what their claims process is like?

Little to no communication, seems to be something new I have to do on my part every week instead of telling me the whole process from the start. The whole process has dragged out and Gow Gates have been far from prompt and helpful.
