How did it apply to you and which bit was false?

Not particularly, so I guess that leaves more for you...
As for followers, you seem to follow my lead on every insurance thread - you are so easy to wind up it's getting old...

Ok, correction. I am an INDEPENDANT BROKER, meaning I am not connected to an insurance company.
And my facts were correct - Lumley has an A rating (albeit A-). For readers who wish to know what these ratings mean, please click here. This link will take you to a PDF document.
And I am simply defending the accusations you started against me, in this thread, started by another member.

Call me picky, but I don't think A- qualifies as "A or above".
Notwithstanding that, I have the highest respect for both Lumley Insurance and the Star Underwriting Agency.
As for "accusations", I don't recall making any, I merely asked some questions and suggested that you fuck off to the appropriate forum. You're being fairly precious for someone with a defamatory statement next to his avatar...

Hey! Nobody's more trying than me... just ask the Missus!
While we can and do act as brokers, I hope I explained the difference with Lighthouse. I deliberately avoided taking on a job as an insurance agent per se, as I didn't want to be commission-driven. What impressed me about this company was that our interest is in doing what is best for the client - we are under a very strict code of ethics, hence the salary, and the fact that we have a national partnership in all the areas in my sig means a complete financial service. Our mortgage guy has over 30 years in banking and finance and was managing a major bank. He has access to all the major banks and lenders and specialises in financial reconstructions. By combining our services we can reduce dramatically a clients costs. Especially if they are buying a house or business.
It's about combining known and established services in unique ways to help people to protect and enhance their assets and lives without paying any more than they absolutely have to. An example is our company group health scheme - unique to Lighthouse and gives a 10% higher than corporate discount rate for staff and about 10% of the usual cost to the company offering it. Uses normal, established insurance companies and policies! No-one else offers this.
I don't know you personally and you may be a genuine and ethical broker who does care for his client's interests. We're just bigger and more diverse.

Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

The Company I work for owns three insurers, two broking companies and various underwriting agencies. Summat like three thousand staff. You most be pretty big...

Hard to say if mine's bigger than yours, I suspect I could guess who you're with, but we are trans Tasman and with solid companies as a group. You don't usually find major insurance companies being "owned" several to a company.
