International Women’s Day is an international event celebrated on 8th March every year to mark the overall contributions of the powerful and strong women in society across the globe. According to the famous saying, “The world needs strong women."

Here at Bargate Insurance, we thought that we would celebrate the fact that we have an office that is entirely operated by women – four humans and two dogs! Sue Holroyd formed the Partnership of Bargate Holroyd Insurance Brokers in 1981 with her husband John and Katie joined the family business in 2013. Sue and Katie currently running the business and are assisted by Fiona, who started at Bargate Holroyd Insurance Brokers in 1990 as an Accounts Manager, and Anne who joined part time last year.

So to all the women out there – we would like to say – Happy International Woman’s Day!

A timely reminder from Rutland Police.
Many of us are guilty of leaving items on display in our cars. And it's not just in rural areas.
Quite often we don't even consider the items we leave to be risky.
It's vital to remember that any item you leave on display may be highly desirable to a thief that has spotted an opportunity, so it's best to err on the side of caution and leave the bare minimum on display in your car. Did you know - groceries and clothes are in the top five items stolen from cars!
Do get in touch if you want to know more about how best to make sure you have the best insurance policy in place for your needs.
