We, of course, specialise in construction insurance. Our blogs reflect that and always will, but today I want to big up sport and its role in helping us all to return to some sort of normality As the country slowly emerges from covid (fingers crossed this is not another false dawn) I see sport as […]

So, as we approach the festive period we find ourselves still at the mercy of this awful covid pandemic. As a country we have got used to using phrases such as “social distancing” and “lockdown”,  two phrases among many that were very alien to us this time last year. As a nation you don’t have […]

Well, I thought about doing a blog on something other than Covid as the world grows weary of it dominating every area of our lives! Nevertheless after canvassing opinion here I am talking about Covid again, as it is a subject we just cannot ignore. As a company we continue to be very busy with […]

‘Providing certainty in uncertain times’ – this is what our clients want from us. I’m pleased to say that is what we provide. In these unusual times we continue to look after our clients with the reliability and expertise you expect from us. We are of course observing the government directives and therefore have many […]

Well, It has been buzzing in our offices this morning as everybody talks about THAT final bowl. New Zealand needed two runs and they got one. Phew! People in our offices range from those who can tell you the permutations of exactly what “silly mid-on” is, to those who watched it for the first time […]
