Testimonials

  • As you are aware, I own a consulting business that works with growing companies. One of my clients, Lux Speed, LLC hired me and as one of my assignments, I performed a comprehensive review of the company's current insurance coverage. After completing the review, speaking with Lux Speed's senior management, and due to some vendor relationships the company had, there were several gaps found in the insurance coverage. Wye River Insurance was introduced to Lux Speed by one of the company's board members.

    I attempted to work with Lux Speed's current insurance agency, but found them to be extremely slow responding to requests, or providing information. My experience with Wye River was completely opposite. Katie Santarelli and Tyler Smith have been responsive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable.

    Due to the nature of the business, one form of insurance the company needed was Cyber Insurance. Lux Speed's senior leadership had attempted to secure this insurance the previous year from their insurance agent with no success. The team at Wye River were able to secure a policy within two days. Another unusual insurance that Lux Speed needed due to the location of some of their projects was parametric insurance. The agency Lux Speed was working with had requested information multiple times, and still could not provide any updates other than, "they were working on it." I provided the same information to Wye River Insurance only once. Within a few days, Wye River Insurance conducted a zoom meeting with representatives of Lux Speed along with myself, and invited an expert in parametric insurance policies. The presentation was not only professional, it was specific to Lux Speed. Following that meeting, a parametric policy quote was presented within 10 days, and was bound shortly thereafter. katie and Tyler have reviewed Lux Speed's other policies and made some excellent recommendations.

    I worked in banking for over 40 years. During my banking career, I often told my clients that for any business to be successful, a good banker, accountant, lawyer and insurance agent was vital. Wye River Insurance Agency has definitely been an asset to Lux Speed, and will soon be the only Insurance Agency for the company.
