I would imagine these are just the broker, what you really need to look at is who is the policy underwritten by.
If these are the underwriters, and they are new to the market they might just be trying to buy their way in, which would mean large increases in premiums in future years.
A couple of years back I insured thru' Carole Nash, as broker, with an underwriter called "Independent". Independent went down the pan (fair do's to Carole Nash they got me reinsured at no cost to me with another underwriter, I just thought that CN's claims procedure was bobbins so have not used them since), it was just because we were considering Independent at work , after I had insured with them for the bike, that I realised after looking at their accounts, that they were not of any substance.But they were quite new to the market, and everyone has to start somewhere.
Should be interesting to hear how dubno gets on with his (or am I being sexist?)claim.
So if the policy is underwritten/with someone such as Equity Red Star, Norwich Union, etc ie a name you can relate to then you should (note should) be OK
