“Trust” is how Ashley O’Leary, defines a “good policy”. For Ashley, trust works in two ways. The first, occurs when the client is “forthcoming with their entire commercial operation liabilities”; the second, “matching those liabilities up with their insurance needs”. Both are relied on, to make sure the client is “taken care of in event of a claim”. This is important for Ashley as she enjoys helping people find peace. Nothing can be more peaceful than knowing that in the event of a catastrophe or disruption, that your commercial needs are taken care of. She states that, “If we are unaware of operations or not made aware of certain aspects of the claim, the claims process can be long and drawn out”.
