Because we put our policyholders first, we have become one of the UK’s fastest growing independent specialist insurance groups serving thousands of satisfied motorcyclists, motorists, classic car enthusiasts, van drivers and motor trade professionals nationally.

refer to talk to you in order to get the best possible understanding of your insurance needs so that we are properly equipped to seek out the best possible deal from our extensive panel of leading UK insurers. Our impressive growth has been achieved not through multi-million pound marketing campaigns but by delivering old fashioned good service, whether it’s in finding you the lowest possible insurance quote or, if you need make a claim, assisting so that the process is as prompt and painless as possible. We’re a company with personality, one that instead of demanding staff follow call scripts and length targets, encourages them to chat with you so they can provide you with the highest quality of service – and the lowest premium. That’s true whether you’re taking advantage of our specialist motorcycle, classic car, van or motor trade insurance. All of which are serviced by expert teams at our Manchester headquarters.
