Specialist coach, bus and fleet insurance broker McCarron Coates has achieved double success at the Insurance Times Awards, taking home two silver awards. The broker competed against larger and more general commercial brokers in these awards, hoping the judges would appreciate its dedication to its clients in the specific sector of fleet transport.
Despite its niche specialism, the company won awards in the Commercial Lines Broker and Broker of the Year categories. The awards also recognised McCarron Coates’ dedication to finding new ways of communicating risks to clients, including the creation of its own board game – Road Hierarchy – to help clients understand the very tangible legal threats to licences and liberty that they can face on the road as a result of the 2022 Highway Code’s introduction of the Hierarchy of Road Users.
McCarron Coates director Ian McCarron, who picked up the awards with fellow director Luigi Maggio, said: “We are delighted to win these two Insurance Times awards and gain recognition for our insurance work within the fleet transport sector. It demonstrates that there is a real role for innovative risk management approaches and for a broker, who is willing to get under the skin of a client’s business, to drive risk management improvements from a position of knowledge and strength.
“The whole team will be buoyed up by these two wins, as we head into 2025. All will be determined to help more fleet transport operators up their risk management game.”
