To meet increasing demand for access to our premium adjusting resource, Agrical has developed its Private Client offering for underwriters and brokers operating within the High Net Worth arena. This is a natural extension to the core services we already provide and the Agrical Private Client brand reinforces our commitment to respond to client, intermediary and policyholder needs in specialist sectors.
As befits the High Net Worth market, our services cover historic, listed and non-listed properties, contents (including fine art and other valuable possessions), outbuildings, gardens and grounds. A full understanding of the nature and range of buildings and possessions, a true appreciation of the culture and status of property owners, trustees and agents, together with expertise in design, construction and restoration are all fundamental to our business philosophy and procedures.
Our service protocols ensure the highest levels of communication, discretion and integrity and we maintain the objective of providing a resource with the time to devote to the claim without the distraction of other demands on the adjuster and support team.
