Our Story
“I’ve spent nearly 40 years in insurance, and one thing has never changed for me: when something goes wrong, people don’t want a debate about policy wording – they want someone in their corner.
That belief is what Whetstone is built on. I spent two decades building a healthcare practice at Lockton, working with some brilliant people. But I always knew I wanted to do something different – a business where client advocacy isn’t a value written on a wall, it’s the reason we exist.
Whetstone has been founded on employee ownership. Our team has real skin in the game and this shows in the service levels they provide. Our client retention rate is 95%, and frankly, the team is obsessed with making it higher.
We’re building something with exceptional people – 25 and counting! Many of our team have worked inside healthcare and clinical environments themselves, so they understand the pressures our clients face from the inside out. Backed by a legally trained clinical team and the kind of infrastructure that puts its arms around clients when they need it most, our aim isn’t to be just another intermediary – it’s to be a genuine alternative. One that gives healthcare providers clarity, support and confidence, so they can focus on what matters most: caring for patients.”
