Stephen had a most pleasant manner

Stephen had a most pleasant manner, did not rush me and made no assumptions about understanding technical terms connected to the insurance renewal narrative. He checked back in with me at the end to ensure I was happy with the new amendments that I had made to the policy. He also offered me a discretionary reduction to the actual amount quoted. All in all a very pleasant experience.
