Choices in the Good times, and dignity in the bad
Every dollar of your insurance cover should serve a purpose, don't have a dollar more than you need, and know what your insurance does.
If you were to build a new home, you wouldn’t simply start with some planks of wood, a saw, and a hammer. You’d get a design, you’d consult with professionals. You’d work from a plan. Knowing what to put in your Insurance basket should be no different. Advice costs nothing, but could mean everything.
Client Reviews

Colin Roberts Director Roberts Ltd/Black International
“James has been solid gold. He has been there for me throughout my claims journey over the last 5 years. Be it 6am in my office to help with the paperwork, or a sunday evening in my Kitchen to assist with another claim. I just send him the bills and they’re paid. I cannot recommend The Insurance Basket enough for everything they have done for me and my family.”

Wade Smith Franchise Owner. Exceed
“James was great to deal with. He gave us great advice, exceptional customer service and was efficient. I would recommend the Insurance Basket for all your advice needs”

Tony Saywell Principal Solution Architect at DXC Technology
“James was very efficient and knowledgeable walking us through the various insurance options. He really took the time to learn about our situation and help us select the best option for us. James took a genuine interest in achieving the best outcome for us and we were very pleased with the overall experience”

Geraldine Watson National Account Manager Hasbro
“I came into this not really knowing what my options were, or where to start. James simply made everything easy. Really good genuine conversations and explained each step so well, and simple. At no point did it feel like sales, I was under no pressure/obligations to do anything…he just applied logical steps for me to follow. In the end I knew exactly what I was taking, and what it would do for me”

Mike Bates Senior Project Manager Classic Developments.
“Our first catch up was more about helping me understand what insurance I actually had in place. There were a number of policies, and to be fair, I’d not looked at it properly in ages. James was great at helping me understand what I had, and how it worked. We were able to consolidate, and trim some options that I thought I had gotten rid of some time ago.”

Luke Tizard Director of Lime Digital
“James was able to quickly and efficiently provide me with a quote for my home and contents insurance, with a few options. James got the policy in place with little effort needed from my side. Thanks very much for the easy onboarding”

Celeste Power Service Delivery Manager Expert 360
“When we met with James we realised how little we had actually thought about insurances and the type of support we may need now and may need in the future. James was fantastic to deal with throughout the experience. His step by step process enabled us to identify exactly what we required to suit our family’s needs. A genuinely good person who cares about his clients!”

George Tyler New Zealand Implementation Manager, Simpro Software Ltd
“When I signed up with him I was self-employed with a specific set of requirements, and James helped me navigate the multitude of choices to get the right cover at the best price, and as my situation keeps changing, has been there to assist. James has been and continues to be fantastic and trustworthy, often choosing what is best for my needs over the commission. I highly recommend you let James find your insurance cover.”

Denise Neal Project Manager - Vodafone
“I must say, your personality type & enthusiasm does not match what I was expecting from someone in “Insurance”...it does not match your choice in career…I mean that in a very good way.”

Simon Gillon & Julia Gillon
“We engaged James after being unhappy with our previous broker. He was able to present our situation in a better light and improve what we had in place. James is really open and honest, and doesn’t try and push you in any direction. He’s one of the good ones and I’d definitely recommend talking to him”

Our Process
The first step can feel like the hardest. It’s really just a conversation. I will ask questions about your current situation, priorities, and future goals. I will also listen. This helps me identify the right risk solutions for you, and how you’d like to engage my services.
Based on the information gathered at our first meeting, I’ll take the time to analyse your options, and build a risk solution that fits your needs. I’ll also review all options across the market.
This is all about walking you through your options, based on the services you have indicated are your priorities. I’ll present options, and then work with you to mould this into a solution that fits your needs, as well as your budget.
The fun part. I’ll walk you through every step of the application process before it’s submitted. I then work with the insurance company to produce the expected underwriting outcome.
It’s very important to review your cover at least every year. Life changes, so do your needs. Never have a dollar more of cover than you need. We’ll be in touch to say hi, and find out how life is tracking.
This is what it’s all about. I will assist in your claim in any way you need me to. From helping to complete the application form, and working with the insurer to achieve the right outcome for you.
