How We Became Part of Sam’s Defence Team.
Founder, Sam Bailey
Introduction:
The SL Shop is the world’s leading destination for classic Mercedes.
Starting in 2006, Sam Bailey identified a gap in the market for high-quality services provided to a community of Mercedes SL enthusiasts.
They have expanded to offer a wide range of high-quality services including vehicle sales, repairs, restorations, online parts store, vehicle storage and lifestyle events.
Now employing over 30 people and selling cars valued over £250,000, Sam faces a unique set of threats and sought us out to help create a defence he had confidence in.
Challenge:
“I wanted to make sure I have a defence team in place, ready to support me if things go wrong.
We offer a wide range of services and handle high-value items, so don’t fit in a standard box. I knew I needed bespoke solutions and someone who understands how my business works.
I wanted an expert I trust, to develop an Insurance plan to help make my business resilient to disaster.” Sam Bailey
Solution:
To help Sam, we appointed Mike as Sam’ personal Insurance representative.
Mike then:
- Assessed the mission failure threats facing Sam’s business.
- Created a bespoke insurance plan.
- Stayed available to offer support and advice whenever needed.
The SL Shop is a dynamic business so Mike and Sam keep in regular contact, updating the Insurance plan as the business develops.
Outcome:
“At The SL Shop, the risks we face are real, but with Mike’s help, we’ve built a robust insurance plan that gives us the confidence to focus on our passion. I know that if anything goes wrong, I’ve got Mike there to help. That peace of mind is invaluable.” Sam Bailey
