“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.”
Robert Procope, The Bath House - Banya London

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.

“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.”

“TL Dallas has offered us consistent, transparent, and clear advice over the years. A trusting partnership was established from day one and we feel assured that we have value for money alongside the cover we need, which in turn gives us peace of mind.”
James RycroftManaging Director, Vida Healthcare.
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.
Peter DurkinManaging Director, Mini Gears (Stockport) Ltd
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.

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.”
