Since partnering with Iridium Risk Services, we have benefited greatly from their knowledge and enthusiasm to build an insurance program that addresses the unique exposures in our industry. The team at Iridium has been incredibly responsive and meticulous in providing advice and reviewing contracts. The attention to detail they have shown through the risk workshop process and on an ongoing basis is exactly what has made them stand out as a risk management partner to Fresnel (Vitruvi). As our company expands, we know we can rely on Iridium to provide continuous support and help our company achieve its goals.

As we approached our first renewal with Iridium, I was extremely impressed by the team’s operational technical expertise in helping us construct an insurance program most suitable for our risks and their ability to clearly and concisely explain everything as we went through the process. The Iridium team were able to negotiate a fair price for Battle River, in a tough market, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Our first renewal went much smoother than I ever could have expected, and we really enjoyed working with them.

The team at Iridium handled our significant pollution liability claim like the consummate professionals we’ve come to know them as. We felt supported throughout the entire process and knew Iridium always had our back. Whether it be in dealings with insurers, adjusters or third party experts, they advocated for us every step of the way. We are very grateful for their level of involvement and the ultimate settlements along the way.

The benefits to Fraser Surrey Docks in engaging a dynamic firm like Iridium continue to emerge and we would recommend them as a risk management partner to any of our West Coast peers.

The Iridium team is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional, and consistently provides timely and relevant advice regarding insurance and risk management issues that are of importance to Propak. Iridium generated underwriter interest in our account through a strategic marketing exercise that resulted in policy coverage improvements alongside a reduction in premium. Iridium analyzed our insurance program and policies, identifying gaps in coverage and wording improvements and proposing and placing new policies, ultimately optimizing our insurance program. Propak is pleased to be working with such a talented and committed team at Iridium. I wish we had made the change years ago!
