Cheaper, more reliable, more accurate same day quote than previous provider
I came to Williamson Carson for specialist photography insurance as I am an underwater portrait photographer. They were able to ask the correct and relevant questions straight away which gave me confidence they understood my practice and would be getting me a reliable quote with adequate cover. Matt handled my enquiry from start to finish and he was able to provide me with the quote that same day. It was cheaper than my previous provider through the insurers he found for me. I cannot recommend the services WC provide enough and will be going back to them again next year when my policy is due to expire. Thanks again so much. 5 Stars.

Williamson Carson have been providing Photographic insurce for me for several years now. Excellent cover and very competitive premiums.
The team also are good at giving guidance about the cover. So many companies don't want to give advice! Prompt replies to questions and queries.
The renewal reminders come with plenty of time to review the cover and make any changes. Every year they do not put up the premium excessively like so many others.

They listened to our problem and explained where we may have made errors but approached our insurers on our behalf and resolved the situation and negotiated a settlement. They were professional and efficient at all times whilst remaining friendly and helpful. Can highly recommend.

I work in a very niche part of photography and previously have found it impossible to get adequate cover for shooting underwater.
The process was pretty seemless, they obviously did their due diligence and asked pertinent questions to what I do. I think it only took a few days to sort cover out (primarily as I was overseas and had a massive time difference) it was a much better price for better cover than my old insurance. All told, I was really impressed. Thanks to Matt Kingdom for sorting this out for me :)
