Is price the only thing that matters?
February 25, 2016
I recently read a thought provoking article in the trade press and it asked if the insurance market has become too focused on price, the question raised was if price is the only consideration then why do people not simply shop in Primark…. his words not mine. My thoughts were if you need a product that fits you then talk to a Broker and not a keyboard.
YELLOW WEATHER WARNING
January 14, 2016
Be prepared
The UK’s Met Office has issued a yellow ‘be aware’ winter weather warning for most of the country. In light of this, there are some simple steps that can be taken in the event of winter weather:
Snow or Ice
- Avoid travelling if possible, but if you have to make a journey, take a phone, warm clothes, food, water, boots, torch and a spade with you. Also let someone know the route you’ll be taking and your estimated arrival time at your destination.
- Grit staff and customer parking and pedestrian access routes within your property.
Windstorm
- To help prevent windstorm damage to items in the open and surrounding areas, ensure they are secured, covered or moved indoors.
Close and securely fasten doors, windows and shutters.
