High temperatures don't just impact comfort - they can create serious risks for businesses and employees.

As the heat rises, now is a good time to review workplace safety measures:
✅ Encourage regular hydration
✅ Schedule breaks in shaded or cooled areas
✅ Monitor employees for signs of heat stress
✅ Check equipment and vehicles that may be affected by extreme temperatures

A few simple precautions can help prevent injuries, reduce downtime, and keep your team safe.

Protecting your people is one of the best ways to protect your business.

This Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the people who inspire us to be brave, work hard and build something that lasts.

Back in 1980, Ralph Rigby took a leap of faith. Starting his own independent insurance agency from his spare room. His vision was simple: to provide people with a personal service and honest, reliable advice.

Fast forward more than four decades and family is still at the heart of Rigby Financial, with Simon and Andrew continuing the journey their dad started.

Now, with a team of 15 and a dedicated financial services arm, what began as a one-man venture has grown into the successful business we know today. Proof that sometimes Dad really does know best!

So this , we'd like to say a big thank you to all the dads, grandads, father figures and role models out there. We salute you!

☀️ 21 June marks the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year.

But while longer days and better weather can boost productivity and create new opportunities, they can also bring a unique set of business risks.

From staffing shortages and equipment failures to property damage, stock issues, and health and safety concerns, seasonal challenges can quickly lead to mistakes, disruptions, and unexpected losses if they’re not properly managed.

Our latest blog explores why risks don’t take a holiday – and why your business insurance shouldn’t either!

A quick policy check could help identify any gaps, strengthen your protection, and ensure your business is properly prepared for the months ahead.

Summer can boost productivity and create new opportunities, but it can also introduce a unique set of risks. Discover what they are and make sure you're protected with Rigby Financial.

What started as a conversation about finding a fun way to contribute to our fundraising efforts for Alzheimer's Society soon turned into the idea of adding the missing element to our challenges and creating an unofficial office triathlon!

Back in March, Maureen got us off to a flying start with a sponsored swimathon.

More recently, on 7 June, Mike took on the Jubilee half marathon in Runcorn.

And now, on 17 July, Kieron and Jenny will be setting off on a bike ride from our Head Office in Rainford to our Southport office and back again – covering 43 miles and completing the final leg of what has unexpectedly become our very own office triathlon!

🏊‍♀️ Swim – Maureen ✔️
🏃‍♂️ Run – Mike ✔️
🚴‍♀️ Bike – Kieron & Jenny (coming soon!)

The only slight hitch in this plan? Unlike Mike and Maureen, cycling isn't something Kieron and Jenny do regularly. In fact, they're complete newcomers to long-distance cycling! But when they realised they could add the final discipline and help turn our individual fundraising challenges into one combined office triathlon, they were all in.

Three challenges. One fantastic cause. Plenty of determination (and a LOT of aching muscles!).

Together, the team has already raised an incredible amount for the Alzheimer's Society, and we'd love to keep that momentum going.

👉 Please support Kieron and Jenny’s efforts if you can - justgiving.com/page/rigby-financial-2026 💙.

Are you a limited company director paying for life insurance personally?

A Relevant Life Insurance policy could offer the same protection for your family while providing significant tax advantages. Premiums are typically paid by your company, can qualify as a business expense, and may avoid income tax, National Insurance, and benefit-in-kind charges when set up correctly.

To find out how it works, who qualifies and whether it's the right option for you, read our latest blog 👇 or talk to the team now on 01744 886077.

Today marks the start of the Alzheimer's Society Forget Me Not Appeal, and we're proud to be supporting this important campaign throughout June.

As Alzheimer's Society is our charity partner for 2026, our team will be wearing their Forget Me Not pins with pride - a simple yet powerful way to help raise awareness and show solidarity with everyone affected by dementia.

The campaign is especially meaningful to us right now as Senior Account Executive, Mike, enters his final days of training ahead of his challenge to complete the Jubilee Bridge half marathon on 7th June. This is the latest challenge taken on by a member of the team in a bid to raise money for this incredible charity.

If you'd like to support Mike and help make a difference, please consider sponsoring him - justgiving.com/page/rigby-financial-2026.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Alzheimer's Society change the lives of people living with dementia and fund groundbreaking research.

If you’d like to show your support with a Forget Me Not pin, they’ll be available from our Southport office from the end of the week, so why not pop in and see us? 💙

Peak holiday season is fast approaching…but travel insurance isn’t just about sunnier climes and relaxation - business trips don’t always go to plan either.

From delayed flights, lost luggage and cancellations through to medical emergencies, can help protect your employees, your business, and your travel plans with cover designed to save you time, money, and hassle.

Whether your team travels occasionally or is constantly on the move, having the right protection in place gives you peace of mind - wherever business takes you.

Even better, in many cases business travel insurance can also offer additional cover for directors, including protection for personal travel and family members too.

That’s business AND pleasure sorted!
