Was with BigFish for 3 years and I could not praise them enough! Very helpful with everything, always going above and beyond for us! The only reason why I am changing is because my agency has now started working with few umbrellas on an approved list due to change in legislation, which I am not happy about! If you can chose BigFish as your umbrella, definitely do so

Professional

Professional, warm and welcoming introduction from Becky Jones, felt really at ease giving my personal information. Becky was not only professional, she was personable, relatable and understood any concerns I may have raised.
In addition, Jennie Cox was also helpful, approachable and quick in responding to email queries. Both ladies are a credit to your company, I am fully happy and content knowing I have received 100% customer service for your employees.
Thank you ladies :)
