Service model
McGriff is accountable to you. We don’t forward your business to a global broking hub. With us, you’ll always work with people you know who understand the nuances of your operation. We’ve staffed our Transportation Practice with industry leaders, including former transportation company risk managers, attorneys, claims managers and insurance underwriters. The same people serving as your primary contacts will also negotiate directly with underwriters on your behalf and be involved in all aspects of a claim.
Service is truly our main differentiator.
We strongly emphasize execution on our core services (policy review and issuance, certificates, invoicing, etc.) in a timely and error-free manner.
