I HAVE USED ACADEMY FOR SOME YEARS…
I HAVE USED ACADEMY FOR SOME YEARS AFTER MY ORIGINAL ASCOT BASED BROKER WAS PURCHASED BY THEM, MAYBE 10 YRS HENCE.
SERVICE OF LATE I HAVE FOUND INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AND CONFUSED. CUSTOMER SERVICES EITHER DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AND ARE SLOW [IN ONE CASE A WEEK] TO RESPOND TO AN EMAIL.
I CURRENTLY HAVE A PREMIUM CONTENTS COVER POLICY AND A BUILDINGS COVER [WITH ZURICH] WHICH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO AMMEND SINCE 15TH NOVEMBER AND STILL REMAINS UNRESOLVED. IF THIS DRAGS OUT MUCH LONGER I WILL BE MOVING MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE.
I HAVE CALLED AGAIN TODAY ; THE PERSON I AM DEALING WITH IS OFF AND THE ALTERNATIVE PERSON THEY COULD NOT CONNECT ME TO.
NOT GOOD, SO MUCH FOR PRIVATE EQUITY HELD BUSINESSES.

I dealt with Michael Dodd this year and again I was so pleased with the service and results. For the 2nd year in a row they have found me an amazing deal that we are so happy with and will definitely be using them again next year for our house insurance.

All sorted over phone.

Second year running and can not fault the service and dedication I received. I really feel like a valued respected customer. Harvinder exceeded my expectations as usual and has most definitely gone beyond this year. Despite being ill she managed to get my renewal quote processed with only one email sent to her. Thank you once again Harvinder.

Did take a while to get through today but good service as ever
Prices good, cover correct and superb customer service
I can't even remember when I started using Academy for my car insurance but it is about 20 years ago. The renewal prices have always been good and they have helpful real people on the phones. So prices good, cover correct and superb customer service; what else would I or anyone else want?
