Paul Humphreys Credit Insurance Services in short

Paul Humphreys Credit Insurance Services is a Telford broker for trade credit insurance, covering whole-turnover, catastrophe and single-buyer policies with a three-step quote process. It states direct regulation with its permission number and prints its registered office. The team is named on the site with testimonials, which suits owners wanting a personal relationship. In our view Paul Humphreys suits business owners wanting credit cover, not households seeking personal advice.

Customer reviews hold five out of five on Google, and the company record runs back further than any other firm in this round. Contact runs by phone or quote form, with no email address published. What counts against it is the lack of sample pricing: quotes come only through the enquiry process.
