Positive
Feedback
ACEA was delighted to
receive the following feedback from our members after they used the PI Pathway:
Heggies Pty Ltd
Heggies' range of
environmental engineering and scientific services has broadened considerably
over the past several years. As we continue to grow, new services are being
introduced, new offices open and other consulting practices are being
acquired. Our overseas work on significant international projects has also
increase markedly.
As a consequence, greater focus on
managing the technical and commercial risks of our multi-disciplinary service
delivery was required. Significant changes to our Professional Indemnity
(PI) Insurance cover became necessary. We realised that professional risk
management advice well beyond that provided by a normal PI broker was required –
we needed an insurance advisory service with considerable consulting industry
experience.
Heggies selected a broker
associated with the ACEA PI Pathway, as the services provided seemed an ideal
match. The broker was able to ensure continuity of cover, broadening the
scope of cover and negotiating a reduced premium. Their contract review
service and ongoing staff risk management training have proven invaluable to our
business, enhancing the professional standard of our client contractual
relations and improving the quality of our service delivery.
DJ Hall, Consulting Civil and Structural
Engineers
Thank you for your work regarding the
Professional Indemnity Insurance Pathway. I received several good quotes and as
a result my PI insurance premium reduced from $20,000.00 to
$5700.00.
How do you use the pathway?
