“Silverstone recently undertook a BI review for one of AJG’s large retirement village clients. Silverstone’s financial analysis and risk assessment was delivered in a concise report that enabled us to place the BI policy on a timely and cost effective basis. Our client hadn’t taken out a BI policy previously, and Silverstone’s professional and commercial advice and experience helped us ensure our client was comfortable with the level of BI cover required, indemnity period and the associated premium. I would recommend Darren and Silverstone to other brokers as a BI expert with significant commercial experience at a very reasonable cost.”
– Paul Harvey, Divisional Managing Director, Arthur J. Gallagher link to: AJG reference – Divisional Managing Director“Darren undertook a thorough fraud investigation and his recommendations resulted in swift and appropriate changes in our business systems and processes to avoid a recurrence. He managed a successful insurance claim from start to finish with full recovery to our policy limit as well as payment of claims preparation costs. The concise and comprehensive report and supporting evidence provided to the insurer and their loss adjustor meant minimal additional enquiry and we could get on with running our business.”
– Peter Tripodi, Finance & Commercial Manager – Australia, Freshmax“I have worked with Darren and Silverstone for many years both as the CFO of one of my clients at Strathearn and more recently as a BI adviser to several of AJG’s manufacturing clients. Darren and Silverstone has wide ranging commercial experience and is very easy to do business with. I have complete confidence putting him in front of my clients to provide specialist BI and fraud investigation advice. Silverstone advises our clients on key risk areas within their business, the level of BI cover required and undertakes fraud investigations. I would recommend Darren and Silverstone to other brokers as a BI insurance and forensic accounting expert with significant commercial experience at a very competitive cost.
– Scott Wright, Account Manager, Arthur J. Gallagher (previously Strathearn Insurance Brokers) link to: Strathearn Arthur J. Gallagher reference“Our client had identified there was a shortfall in the cash payments for the sale of their fruit and vegetables to certain day traders at the Brisbane Fruit and Vegetable markets. The extent and duration of this practice was not known and who was involved. Our client engaged Silverstone to undertake the following services:
- Initiated a fraud investigation to identify the method of the fraud, who was involved and the duration it was conducted over.
- Prepared a comprehensive report and supporting evidence to the insurer and their loss adjustor.
- Assisted in developing a series of improvement recommendations and appropriate changes in the client’s business systems and processes to avoid a recurrence.
The investigation revealed a series of thefts by an employee over a four year period which had been covered up by manipulating the recording of sales and payments by cash. Their efforts lead to settlement of 100% of the claim along with payment of their claims preparation costs.”
