Do you have a static caravan? Maybe you're considering buying one for your annual holidays? If this is the case then you will no doubt want a little more information about static caravans and the benefits they offer. The main benefit of a static caravan is that they offer a home, away from home at a portion of the price of a full sized holiday home. However, they offer many of the same

The London 2012 Olympics are rapidly coming up and it looks set to be an enjoyable event with a wealth of British talent.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has called for a change to the way in which employers’ liability and public liability insurance claims are handled. This request for change has come about as a result of overzealous interpretations of health and safety legislation which has hampered growth of the UK economy and harms small business expansion. The ABI claims that the current legal

With the highly publicised launch of our sister brand – Fair Pay Insurance we felt it important to talk a little about the differences between Fair Pay and iKube as they are two quite different forms of telematics car insurance (or “black box insurance”) that will suit different people.

It’s long been acknowledged that we now live in a society who are very conscious of their rights, and as such small businesses really can’t neglect health and safety.
