I have insured with GJW for many years.

I have insured with GJW for many years. My first claim on them was when a boatyard I was using at the time failed to moor my boat correctly causing about £3500 damage.GJ W perused this case for me and took the matter to court which they won. The boatyard had to pay the amount and all the costs of the court case. I even got my no claims discount back as this was suspended during the proceedings.. athe second case was when I had an accident during rough weather. GJ W paid all the costs, which I received very promptly. Reviewed on: 12th July 2025
