🌿 Supporting the Minsmere Wildfire Appeal 🌿

We've made a £500 donation to the RSPB's Minsmere Wildfire Appeal.

The recent wildfire had a significant impact on one of Suffolk's most treasured natural areas. As a Suffolk business, we felt it was important to help out our community.

This small contribution will go to supporting a cause that's close to home for so many of us.

More info about the appeal can be found here:

This week's Bee of the Week is Nina, our claims superstar. ⭐

After spending 11 years in the customer service team, Nina made the move to claims two years ago. In fact, she's spent that time being a true multitasking queen bee, supporting customer service while learning the ropes in claims at the same time.

Now firmly settled in the claims team, she brings hard work, positivity and a can-do attitude to everything she does.

Her manager says she's like a sponge. Always learning, never fazed by a challenge. And does it all with a smile on her face. 💛

Away from work, Nina loves keeping active. She recently conquered Snowdon with the claims team - an achievement she's rightly very proud of! She enjoys long walks and cycling, and loves exploring Europe on the back of a motorbike with her husband. When she's ready to slow things down, you'll find her curled up with a good book and a glass of wine.

We're lucky to have such a wonderful and talented bee in the hive. 🐝👏
