since 1919

I am writing to provide feedback on the outstanding service I received from TL Dallas in relation to insuring my complex property portfolio.

The team’s expertise and commitment were evident from the outset. They demonstrated a thorough understanding of the intricacies involved in managing a diverse and challenging portfolio and showed complete confidence in finding the right solutions. It was clear that TL Dallas not only possesses extensive knowledge of the insurance market but also the determination and resourcefulness required to navigate more complex cases.

Throughout the process, TL Dallas remained proactive, communicative, and entirely solution‑focused. Even when identifying a suitable insurer appeared challenging, they continued to explore every possible avenue and ensured I was kept informed at each stage. Their professionalism and client‑centred approach turned what could have been a difficult and stressful experience into a seamless one.
Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I now have the correct insurance in place for my portfolio, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. It is rare to find a team with both the technical capability and the genuine client‑first mindset that TL Dallas consistently demonstrated, and I truly appreciate the support provided.

I look forward to working with them again in the future and would highly recommend TL Dallas to anyone seeking insurance advice or services.

“Mackenzie, Susan, Rob and the team in Bradford did a truly brilliant job in a recent business interruption claim for us. The loss adjusters dragged the process out for over 18 months expecting us to give up, but TL Dallas’s persistence, expertise and humour finally achieved the result we were looking for. This kind of service is a real rarity these days.”

“Caledonia Dallas has been an invaluable partner in managing our complex insurance needs. Their team consistently demonstrates deep industry knowledge and exceptional attention to detail.

“TL Dallas has provided trade credit insurance for the last 10 years, which has bought great peace of mind, whilst supporting the company’s growth. The TL Dallas team ensures that ACS can secure credit insurance cover for new and existing customers, as well as giving the best advice on slow payers and claims. They have recently helped with an appeal regarding the payment of a claim, helping with cash flow. The pride they take in their work is truly inspiring going above and beyond.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for ACS.”

“I have been most impressed by the customer service from TL Dallas when a problem was discovered in the bathroom of a property which I own, and which is rented out. They were very patient when personal issues caused a delay in a quote coming to them and again when there was a delay with the invoice. We also couldn’t be more delighted with the swift payment of our claim by the claims handling team at Aviva.”

“Just a brief note to say how grateful I am for all your help sorting out the hotel policy this year. Over the years I have valued your cooperation in getting not only the most appropriate cover but at the best price.”

“Thank you for your excellent service over the years.”

“We have dealt with TL Dallas for many years and have always found the staff to be very helpful and professional in all that they do. They are able to provide specialist knowledge and a bespoke service tailored to our specific needs, and the fact that they have an office on Shetland is a huge positive.”

“Whether you’re an established business, just starting out, publicly or privately owned, TL Dallas will take care of your every need, product, and price.”

Ed Whitby

We are so grateful that you helped to resolve a situation that was causing us great concern. After being badly let down by our previous insurance provider, and after seven months of emails, phone calls and lost documents, we decided to try elsewhere.

After only one week of contacting TL Dallas, we had our policy sorted and at a much lower price, which in this current economic climate makes a huge difference to us. Your professionalism and knowledge of the Social Care Sector is second to none and we are so pleased that we took the decision to move to TL Dallas.

We will definitely be recommending TL Dallas to our colleagues within the care sector, and we look forward to a long and enduring working relationship as we move our business forward.

“I immediately recommended TL Dallas given the experience and the excellent service levels we have enjoyed at our company.”

“Three generations of Whitby Morrison have worked with TL Dallas for insurance needs. The support and service received just gets better year on year. The team are always on hand to offer guidance and advice whilst scouring the market for the perfect balance between price and product.”

“As a business we have worked with several members of the TL Dallas team, and yet it always feels like you’re dealing with the same person. The transition is always seamless, and their customer knowledge is second to none. As a client, you really do matter to them.”

“I just wanted to say once again how impressed I always am with your team – no matter who I speak to – and I think that’s very special. Your team are always excellent with their service and we always tell as many people as possible about you! I just wanted to pass this on, as you are clearly doing something very right and have been for a long time!”

We have been dealing with TL Dallas for over 30 years and have always found them to be efficient.

They have created insurance policies that are tailored to our needs, which has helped us evolve the company.

Like every business, you only find out how good an insurance company is when you need to make a claim. This has been effortless when this has occurred and I strongly recommend TL Dallas for your insurance needs.

“We have dealt with Michael now for the past 10 years and during that time, he has taken the time to learn about all aspects of our business and provided his knowledge and advice along the way, thus enabling us to concentrate more on what we do best. As we have expanded and grown over that time into the successful company we are today, it’s great for us to have Michael there on the other end of a phone (day or night) always available to offer valuable advice.”
