Donna has been absolutely amazing!
She took the time to understand my business requirements where my previous broker said they couldn’t help! I was uninsured for 2 years previously until Donna worked hard to find a solution for me! She has saved me a lot of money, time and I know that she is always on hand when I need to speak to her!
Donna Williams is brilliant!
We've found an insurance expert who cares and wants what is best for our company.
She really knows how to go that extra mile.
Thanks Donna - keep up the great work!
Donna was an incredible help, Didn’t mess about and within 24 hours my insurance was sorted
Very responsive and helpful support from Taylor and the team. They worked hard to ensure that I got the right level of cover at a fair price. Would definitely recommend.
Donna was incredibly attentive and helpful! She listened to what myself and my business partner needed, going above and beyond in the process by finding a very competitive quote for us. Would certainly use her again and recommend her to anyone needing similar!
Donna was an absolute pleasure to deal with!

Donna has been fantastic and has got us everything we needed for a great price. Turned a quote around for us quickly and wasn’t complicated at all
Excellent service from a superb company, highly recommended ++++
It’s very rare in this day and age to find a company, let alone a member of staff, who are prepared to ‘go the extra mile’ for their customers. David Upshall Insurance are lucky enough to employ Donna Fletcher who proved to us that great service still exists. Thank you Donna for working hard to find the right package for us and at the right price. Well done.
Off to a great start , Donna is passionate and very helpful and engaged , thanks very much
A Fantastic Experience from the start. I have a small portfolio of properties and the insurance is due for renewal 5 August 2025. Unfortunately, I have not received a renewal from my current broker or insurer.
I contacted Donna Fletcher at David Upshall and she made the whole process so easy, with great advice an honesty. I have decided to place my business with them and would thoroughly recommend Donna from the Dorchester office.
Cannot Recommend Donna highly enough.
From the beginning Donna went through our business needs and requirements and highlighted areas we weren't correctly insured by our previous insurer, with her experience she raised some additional insurance policies she felt would be beneficial for the business.
Would Highly recommend Donna for all your business needs
Donna Fletcher is one of the best broker I have ever come across. She has the top qualities and skills which enables her to find a best deals for her clients.
Donna have saved us lot of money on residential, buy to let, and business insurances.
Donna not only saves the money but she get the policies with more benefits.
on some product where she cannot save money she still gets the policies which offers more benefits for the same price.
Donna looks at client benefits than her own and she makes sure she gets the best policies.
Donna emails are so comprehensive which covers all angles and she makes sure the right protection is in place.
Donna is very humble, polite, approachable.
I truly and highly recommend Donna Fletcher she is simply the BEST.

Great service from everyone I spoke to at David Upshall Insurance Services. So much better to know I can deal with a small team, rather a company online.
Donna contacted me and asked if she could help with my insurance this year, it took all the hassle out of shopping around and every question and request was answered quickly. I now know that i have the correct insurance in place with no uncertainty and a contact for future renewals and queries.
These guys are worth their weight in gold, great service.
I needed business insurance for a small retail shop and I was recommended to David Upshall Insurance Services.
I had been on comparison sites but decided to call the above company.
I was glad that I did.
Donna Fletcher dealt with my enquiry very efficiently over the phone. Donna pointed out a few important covers that I had missed which made me feel she was concerned that she was quoting the right cover safe guarding me and my business.
The quote Donna came up with was very reasonable and so I went ahead and purchased the business insurance.
The documents were with me the next day and it was comforting knowing that the insurance was set up by a person who is thorough.
I feel I will have no need to seek other brokers in the future as I felt I was a valued customer.
I can recommend David Upshall Insurance Services to anyone.
Five stars all round.
I gave a very tight deadline of less than 12 hours to find insurance for our holiday let property.
Linda and Andy were both very quick to react and Andy wasted no time finding a competitive and complete package. Some quick fettling of the figures and we signed up there and then.
We switched to David Upshall following recommendation from our neighbour after us being with the previous company for eight years, so it would have to be good to make us change companies! Top marks to David Upshall Insurance.
