Natassia James
Natassia is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Masonic Scheme. Natassia started her career in 2008 working on the National Masonic Scheme and since then has developed an excellent working relationship with our Masonic clients and is dedicated to providing a high level of service.
We have been insured through the Masonic Scheme brokered by Howden and its predecessor companies for many years. As a small volunteer-run organisation, it has been of enormous benefit to us to have all our insurance needs wrapped up in one comprehensive and cost-effective policy tailored to the needs of a Masonic Centre. We have always received an excellent service from the knowledgeable and professional staff at Howden. This was particularly important several years ago when they steered us smoothly through a subsidence claim and its aftermath.
I am very satisfied with the service we receive from Howden and would thoroughly recommend them. Their customer service is informative, professional and responsive; they instigated our recent claim process efficiently; and what truly sets them apart is their ability to negotiate with insurers on our behalf, ensuring we received the best possible outcome and premium.
When we switched insurers to Howden our annual cost saving was significant and for less money we gained increased cover with a much better all round policy. Unfortunately owing to a break in we had to make a substantial claim for damage to two sets of doors. Howdens were superb, their support was excellent and they dealt with the claim efficiently and professionally.
