Glencairn

Like CKA, Glencairn is ambitious and rapidly growing. Glencairn provides CKA with specialist wholesale broking services and provide us with a strong market presence at Lloyd's, and in the London and international markets. Glencairn is headquartered in London and is a high energy and empowering company which delivers an unparalleled level of service for our clients.

Glencairn's claims advocacy is a particular strength and is viewed as much more than just a support function. It's claims department is the 'shop window' of the company, in contrast to many of it's competitors who see claims as an 'after sales' or outsourced service. It is also Glencairn's 'modus operandi' to involve the claims team in the renewal negotiation process in order that clients can benefit first hand from their experience and advice.

Hilb, Rogal & Hobbs (HRH)

From January 2007, Glencairn's international activities and operations were further complimented by it's relationship with HRH. HRH has over 140 offices and is in the top ten brokers globally.

HRH's mantra is consistent with CKA's - "In an industry known for remote and passive order-takers, we are energetic participants in our clients' businesses. When you engage us, you are not simply buying coverage, you are hiring talent".
