Williamson Carson – Always reliable and Always on your side! We have been dealing with Williamson Carson for over 15 years. The service they offer is fantastic. As with all insurance, the proof is in the pudding. Last year I was in the unfortunate position of requiring the insurance of a claim. The manner in which the claim was handled and settled was extremely professional and exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend Williamson and Carson for all your insurance needs. – Carl Lyttle, Photographer, Review From Trust Pilot

I've been dealing with Williamson Carson for over 20 years having been introduced to them through the Association of Photographers of which I'm a member. When I've had a claim, however complex, it has been dealt with quickly and efficiently and they very much work for you. They really understand the industry and just happen to be a great bunch of people to deal with.

– Larry Bray

Tom Carson & Williamson Carson have been my insurance brokers for over 15 years. The advice and cover they provides is both comprehensive and realistic. Tom's many years insuring the photographic and film industry means he is never fazed when I throw him last minute curve balls on shoots & on the 2 occasions I have needed my insurance it was dealt with swiftly & professionally. I highly recommend Tom and his team.
