Very efficient, pleasant and cost effective service from Tony Suryavansi.
Always an excellent service, super helpful, friendly and professional.
I have to say that Tony Suryavansi from Edison Ives not only gave us the lowest quote for the insurance on the building in which our flats are located but also was incredibly helpful and supportive. So there was no question that we would choose the insurance he proposed and we look forward to working with him again next year,
Maria made life very easy for me I told her what I wanted and she sorted it for me a great service thanks Maria 👌
For the first time in many, many years I had to make a claim when a tenant left one of my properties having damaged an expensive front door. Nikki handled the claim efficiently and quickly, and RSA were also quick and ready to approve the claim. Great service - thank you

Very professional, I dealt with Andrew, he was polite, phoned when he said he would and got me a good price for my public liability insurance. Five 🌟. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent Price and a Great All-round Experience from Gary
Gary did an amazing job for our building saving us over £15k in our renewal premium that was quoted by our old broker. They have made the entire process of switching very simple and efficient. I can’t recommend Edison Ives highly enough.
Excellent service from Gary, prompt, clear and the best quote! I will not hesitate in using again.
Very prompt, knowledgeable and friendly service from this team who got a competitive quote for our block of flats insurance, would recommend!
Excellent service and easy to deal with.
After spending several weeks looking for insurance and not managing to find anything suitable I finally found Edison Ives. Tony took the time to listen to my business insurance needs and find appropriate and reasonable insurance for us. His customer service was fantastic and he explained everything fully so I know exactly what we are covered for. I have already recommended them to friends and will definitely be using them again.
This year, Paul Blyth looked after me. It felt like Paul knew straight away I didn't want anyone to waste my time. He got straight to the point, pointing out the most important things in my cover which I knew about....but it was nice that it was brought to my attention....whereas other insurance company didn't even mention these points. Hence I say I felt looked after by Edison Ives.
We have been in business for 40 years and in that time I have dealt with numerous insurance brokers, in obtaining guest house insurance. However I must say that if have found Paul Blythe of Edison Ives exceptional in the level of advice and overall helpfulness. The policy price that he negotiated was very competitive and he managed to obtain a longer unoccupation of our business than normal. He is a man on top of his job and I was more than pleased to place my next policy with his company. I would urge anyone seeking business insurance to at least give Paul an opportunity to quote.
We needed Public Liability Insurance and we were given Edison Ives contact details we spoke to Gary Thorner he was excellent answered all our questions and gave us 3 options. We highly recommend this company. Dyers Quality Joinery LTD.
The guys at Edison Ives were brilliant. The insurance required was a little unusual and some brokers were unable to help but this company helped to ensure they found a policy that would cover all aspects and at the best price. Nothing was too much trouble. I would DEFINITELY use them again and recommend them.
I am a Director of a RTM and am responsible for the maintenance of an apartment block of 12 flats. Our building insurance is due for renewal and I contacted Gary Thorner to obtain a quotation. We spoke on the telephone initially and it was reassuring to speak to somebody who was knowledgeable, able to answer my queries and provide good advice. I received a detailed quotation shortly thereafter, which I shall accept. A first class personal service, and the most competitive quote out of the three I obtained.
A fantastic company to deal with. Not only were they extremely efficient and provided a number of quotes which were cheaper than the current insurer of our block of flats, but everything was arranged in a timely and friendly manner and whatever was promised in terms of communication and updates was delivered ahead of time. In particular, Gary provided information and practical advice in a friendly, very professional manner without any pressure whatsoever. I would recommend this company and Gary without any hesitation whatsoever and look forward to continuing to do business with them in the future.
Cannot thank Gobind enough for arranging Landlord Insurance so quickly for us with a next day renewal date. He went above and beyond to get us a cheaper, but equally comprehensive policy and to start that night. Would definitely recommend Edison Ives.
I am most grateful for all the help that Gary Thorner of Edison Ives Insurance Solutions gave me for securing my buildings insurance policy. Gary was very positive in chasing up quotes and going over at length the details for the policy which we secured. Phone calls, emails and all questions were answered most promptly. I would strongly recommend the services of Edison Ives.

Fantastic service from Maria and Ged at Edison Ives. Professional, friendly and courteous service, well done!
Amazing service. Quick and reliable help. Great for start-up businesses. Professional and very helpful staff. Will be back for sure. Strongly recommend.
Would highly recommend Edison Ives, we have been working with them for our own policies as well as policies for clients. Everyone is so helpful. We recently needed an office insurance policy and Tim arranged for this to be sorted the same day for us. Thanks again!
I spoke to Gobind Suryavansi who was brilliant from the go. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of time he spent with me to ensure that the policy was tailored to my needs and that I understood what I was covered for. It was so refreshing speaking to a professional, who made the process so smooth and left me feeling very confident that I was covered in the event of a claim. Your a credit to the company and I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family. Thanks again Gobind
I have used Edison Ives twice in the past 6 months, dealing with Sarah Parnell, I have to say dealing with Sarah was a refreshing expereance based on dealings with other insurance Company's. Sarah is committed to Quality customer service and supplying the best product for the customer
We have been working with Edison Ives for a couple of years now and have always been impressed with their focus on customer service. They have also managed to obtain specialist and very cost-effective cover, with innovative solutions to meet for our insurance needs. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience with Edison Ives, and especially Gobind. Whereas most insurance brokers take days to get quotes in place, Edison Ives take a matter of hours. The whole process was simple, efficient and a very professional service. Would recommend to anyone.
I dealt with Gobind for our Liability Insurance. He was very professional. Quick to reply with any queries. He made the whole process very easy.
Gobind was very helpful, he understood what I needed for my insurance and was very quick to get me the quote I was after.
Extremely helpful and efficient - found me the cover I needed for a complex build project.
An incredible team. Fast responses to queries and full disclosure received from Tony - Every time. Significant cost savings found with no decrease in cover.
My husband just set up his first business and as many can relate to its very overwhelming with all the things needed to do including insurance. I looked around and dealt with a couple other companies which in comparison were a nightmare.
Gobind was amazing with communication, making the whole daunting experience a breeze and going the extra mile to provide outstanding customer service. The company is very flexible and accommodating wouldn't hesitate to recommend to any of my friend or family.
I spent months trying to find bespoke insurance cover for my small food business but kept getting really bad service, no information and refusal with no explanation. I’d almost lost hope but then I got through to Tony from Edison Ives and he was incredible. Not only did he spend the time to explain things thoroughly, he went out of his way to help me find the right insurance policy for my business. I’m a super happy customer and would Highly recommend! Thank you so so much.
I was let down by another insurance broker at 5 o'clock on a Monday night with a project mobilizing on the Wednesday morning for which I had to have Rope access insurance for at £10M ELI/PLI.
Tony called me back after hours on the Monday night, got all of the information required (walked me through the document) and then put in a monumental effort to get the quotations back before my mobilization time. As a comparison I had other insurance brokers only responding to my enquiry 24hrs later.
Tony got everything in place in time for us to go offshore and successfully deliver our project. Absolute top man and I will be back to speak to Tony for our next insurance coverage (with a bit more time to spare).
Tim Dixon provided very professional service giving me timely reminders and following up on my queries promptly. The policy is tailored to our needs and competitive. Excellent service and I would recommend.
As a tree surgeon, I was struggling to find insurance to suit my company needs. I spoke to Tony at Edison Ives, his service was outstanding and prompt. He tailored my cover to suit my needs. Would absolutely recommend.
I have been dealing with Edison Ives for a couple of years and fined that both Tony & Ged have in depth knowledge of the insurance required all the Staff are very friendly & always helpful we have developed a great working relationship which will continue for many years.
Edison Ives have provided me with a high standard of customer care and attention. Sarah and the team advised and sourced insurance cover that ensured our business properties and clients obtained a high level of service and value for money.
We have held our Fleet and Professional Indemnity insurances with Edison Ives for a couple of years now and the service has always been second to none.
Sarah and the team respond promptly to any queries and we have always found them to be extremely helpful and understanding of our business needs.
We would not hesitate to recommend Edison Ives to any prospective customers.
Thank you.

Great Service as always from Sarah at Edison Ives. They provide an excellent, professional service for our Buildings and Contents insurance at our two Sites. Always a pleasure to deal with and nothing is ever too much trouble.
Dave Hill - Navigation Wealth Management
We are delighted with the service received from Edison Ives, Ged and the rest of the team. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in future! Their advice and recommendations have been invaluable to us. Very professional, efficient and extremely helpful.
Top guys, very informative and knowledgeable, great value , we did all of our public liability insurance with this team , and would strongly recommend them . 10 out of 10 👍
Very Professional and always goes the extra mile to get you the best deals. We have switched all our business and fleet to Edison Ives. Saved our company money, Brilliant Service and very helpful. Tony is excellent! Would highly recommend.
Gobind is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to arrange the cover we needed and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Excellent follow up with all queries covered.
Extremely helpful and at very competitive cost
I would be happy to use again and recommend
I was referred to Edison Ives by the British Insurance Brokers Association and Tony was able to find an insurer that reduced my landlord cover from over £1300 to £495. I was over the moon and Tony made it all easy and straightforward. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
As leaseholders we took the rights to manage our own flats. Not knowing anything about what needs to be done, Edison Ives (Tony) was of very good advice and guidance in taking out a building insurance for our flats. Clearly the personalised and trustworthy approach made us decide to work with them (as well as the money they made us save). I would highly recommend them to anyone taking on their rights to manage! Thanks.
I had a lot of problems trying to insure my rental new build flat, these guys were very courteous and solved the problem for me at a good price.
I found Edison Ives while searching for home insurance which would provide cover for a house which shares the property with a home-based boarding kennel business. Tony was able to find me a very competitive package, and walked me through the whole process step by step. Tony could not have done more to help me, and for a new-start business his help and advice was invaluable. Absolutely Five Star!
Customer service exceptional. Thanks to Edison Ives we got a competitive price for our block of flats insurance. Following that we had a claim and Ged helped us with this from start to finish. I would highly recommend.
Really very helpful. After having a claim in 2016, our premiums were extremely high. Edison Ives have found us a higher policy at a cheaper rate that our previous insurers.
Ged gave me comprehensive advice in simple English and I now feel reassured that I have the right cover at the right price. He understands me and my business and is a joy to deal with. Who knew insurance could be fun?!
Very easy to deal with and very professional. So much better than dealing with the massive impersonal call centres, and Edison Ives still came back with a better premium. As with all insurance, it's not the buying but the claims process that's important. I get the feeling that should a claim be necessary they will do everything possible to support.
As the Director and owner of Edmonds Recruitment, it was essential to me to be able to find a trusted insurance partner to help me find the right Business Insurance that worked for me and my industry. I highly recommend using Edison Ives and specifically Tony Suryavansi. He will take the time to listen and answer any questions you may have about your policy and should you need him in the future, Tony makes himself readily available for ongoing advice.
Excellent service. They saved me 100s of pounds on my building insurance policy!
I was really impressed with Edison Ives. They bent over backwards to arrange our business insurance. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they were a pleasure to deal with.
