Multiple Fire, Storm and Machinery Breakdown Material Damage and Business Interruption Insurance Claims From 2011 to Date
"In my role as Insurance Manager for the Suez Group I have used the services of Nick for in excess of 12 years to assist me in preparing multiple high value and very complex Material Damage and Business Interruption insurance claims.
Nick's ability to quickly get a full understanding of the background to a claim, the impact on our business, how the insurance policy responds, discuss it with Insurers and their Loss Adjusters, and prepare the claim documentation is second to none.
Nick has always delivered excellent settlement results for the Suez Group which reflect his professional and timely approach to our claims, and his attention to detail and work ethic.
The Suez Group would not have been able to achieve the outcomes it did without Nick’s involvement in managing and preparing the claims on our behalf.
I highly recommend the services of Nick to anyone looking for guidance and assistance in preparing an insurance claim.”

Canberra Hailstorm, January 2020, Material Damage and Business Interruption Insurance Claim
“Doma Group used Nick to prepare our significant insurance claim from a hailstorm which affected 14 of our buildings.
Nick’s expertise, diligence and professionalism was evident from the very start of our insurance claim and continued right through until the settlement of our claim. His ability to work with and manage the various parties involved in the claim process (builders, building consultants, quantity surveyors, loss adjusters, forensic accountants, insurer) was outstanding.
In addition, Nick was able to convince our insurer on the technical application of the insurance policy to an aspect of our claim to our significant benefit.
For anyone seeking assistance with an insurance claim, I highly recommend using Nick as your insurance claim preparer.”
Sandra Wade, Investment Portfolio Manager, Doma Group.

“Nick, Thank you for what you have done for us in the last 10 months on this claim made tough and difficult by [insurer]. I appreciate the hard work that you’ve put in and your advice on the problems continuously raised by [insurer] to wear us down.
We would not have been able to sort it if you didn’t take on the work last December. We were very fortunate that you were in Christchurch at the time.”

Christchurch Earthquakes, September 2010 and February 2011, Business Interruption Insurance Claims
“Nick became involved with BJ Ball following a succession of other personnel. It was probably a year or so ago that I took a very difficult call from the writer of the e-mail below frustrated and upset that yet another person had been appointed and that the whole process seemed to be going back to square one, with the client having to explain what they do, who their suppliers are etc; an understandable concern when the claims were already over a year old.
A key turning point in the claim was when a meeting was facilitated at the BJ Ball offices (client, client executive, Nick, Underwriters and Loss Assessors) and Nick taught everyone (BI assessors included) a lesson on BI and how it works. It was great having the most knowledgeable person in the room on our side.
Since then, Nick has worked hard on the second claim and in the words of the client ‘far exceeded our thoughts on what we might get’. He also said that Nick had done a ‘tremendous job’ and had a achieved a ‘very good result in both incidences’.”
