KW Associates

KW Associates Insurance Services, a company regulated and authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, was established in 1999 by Iqbal Shah. The firm originated as a bespoke brokerage, specialising in insurance solutions tailored for the catering trade, alongside commercial and residential property let agreements. Iqbal's vision was to create a brokerage that understood the unique needs of these sectors and could navigate the complexities of the insurance market to provide tailored coverage. Through strong relationships with major underwriting agencies across the UK, KW Associates negotiated specialist insurance schemes, ensuring clients received competitive premiums and comprehensive protection.

KW Associates prides itself on delivering a high level of customer service, built on a foundation of extensive experience and a genuine commitment to client satisfaction. The company's intimate knowledge of the catering industry, particularly within the British Bengali community, allows them to provide specialised advice and support, understanding the particular risks and challenges faced by these businesses. This dedication to serving the Bengali community extends beyond language, with KW Associates offering client interactions in English, Bengali and Arabic.

At the core of KW Associates is a family tradition of insurance expertise. Iqbal Shah's journey in insurance began in 1980, carrying the legacy of his father, Abdul Wahid, who founded a successful insurance brokerage in 1961 upon arriving in the UK. This rich history imbues KW Associates with a deep understanding of the industry and a dedication to providing clients with the best possible service and advice.
