Does it take too long for company owners to get their hands on critical information, about the finances of their projects? Has your profitability ever been reduced because you didn’t attribute all employees’ costs correctly? Have you agreed special rates with a supplier and later discovered you’ve been overcharged?

We set up the company as many of the banks and insurers moved to reduce their exposure, and we realized that in order to do bonds successfully as a broker, we had to specialise. As surety specialists we represent a large selection of sureties (insurance companies who provide bonds) and the real benefit to the client is that they have access to them all, we help to fit our client and the needs of their principal with the right surety provider. We are a sister company of Brady Insurance, a general insurance brokerage established in 1959, see www.bradyinsurance.ie for more information. Colm McGrath is the Managing Director of Surety Bonds, and we are based in the thriving town of Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim. Surety Bonds is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. The experience and expertise within the company helps reduce much of the hassle out of obtaining bonds, as we deal with all regulated providers of bonds and financial guarantees. Given that not all providers will be interested in every enquiry, our knowledge
Exhibitors allows us to target those companies and underwriters who we know will be interested in offering terms. This saves the client or broker valuable time and usually enables us to obtain terms quite speedily. www.suretybonds.ie Stand TALENT PARTNERS 25 WWW.TALENTPARTNERS.IE
