Intro from the editor

Hello! As we open 2022 with a more optimistic outlook for the new year, we want to thank our clients for your continued custom. Heading into our 37th trading year we’re excited for the opportunities this next year can bring.

There is continued success with our commercial, property owner and tradesman policies with our insurer partners. We’re keen to grow this commercial part of our wholesale broker business; please do get in touch with Ryan Ewing to discuss how we can make the difference to your new business and renewal success in 2022 and beyond.

We recently acquired Heritage Insurance Agency and are so pleased to welcome Vicci & Heidi. This addition to our specialist household insurance scheme really does give us the edge in the non-standard and Thatch household insurance market.

Our small update is ultimately your newsletter that should give you a few snippets of advice and guidance. If you feel we should mention a particular story, get in touch at mail@county-insurance.co.uk .

Many Thanks,
