Shopmobility Insurance
BACKGROUND
BJK was approached in 1994 by the National Federation of Shopmobility to ’tailor-make’ an insurance scheme, in which all members affiliating to the NFSUK could participate. In consultation with them and a leading ’charity’ insurer, a wide-ranging insurance policy was negotiated, catering for all aspects and operations of the different Shopmobility schemes. Very competitive rates were obtained, and the members have benefited greatly from these arrangements.
The scheme has also worked to the advantage of NFSUK, as it has been one of the attractions of members paying their affiliation fees to obtain the preferential insurance cover and rates.
The scheme administrator, Kirsty Worth, is always pleased to hear from any Shopmobility, and will willingly give help and advice both to existing clients, and those looking to set up a new scheme, call Kirsty on 01271 346711, for more information.
