Top of the April Medibroker provider survey

William Russell “flies the flag” for the private medical insurance industry according to leading independent health insurance brokers, April Medibroker.

We have maintained our Number One position on every ‘How We Rate The Insurers’ Survey that April Medibroker has carried out since the study was originated in 2005.

Andrew Wilson, CEO, April Medibroker, says:
“William Russells dedication to quality and service – both to the customer and to the broker – remains second to none even in todays most competitive of marketplaces.”  Read more >

Service with a smile and a can-do attitude

One broker in the United Arab Emirates tells us why he and his corporate client chose to work with William Russell.

James Thomas, Associate Director, Acuma, says:
“The service my clients and I receive from insurance providers is often contrary to the [high-quality] products they sell, with many delivering the schemes without the same passion of the sale, or being able to provide the desired after-care to intermediaries, administrators and claimants alike.

“However, when William Russell entered the market last year in association with Dubai Insurance Company, it was clear from the out-set that as a smaller niche provider, they were big on service.”

The future IS bright green!

As part of our green Web Works policy, you will remember that in August we launched our paperless service for the receipt of policy documents for individuals. We have also been promoting our site for easy access to brochure and form downloads.

We are pleased that the majority of our partners support the initiative and thank those of you who completed our recent survey with 8 out of 10 respondents stating that their clients were mostly happy not to receive printed brochures.

We have also canvassed visitors to our site and can report that 89% of respondents prefer electronic documents. Read our full survey results.

Are you using the right group application forms?

Over the course of this year we have drastically revised the number of forms we operate to make the application process as stress-free as we can for our customers and partners.

Please go to Web Works Sales and update your forms now!

Just look for the green symbol!
