23/04/2010 - It has recently been announced that Quinn Insurance have entered Administration. While at Rigtons we have not recommended Quinn for some time following concerns as to their stability we are aware that many brokers had been recommending Quinn as a market to their clients.
With the news that the Administrators, Grant Thornton, plan to cut jobs and as Quinn is only partially allowed to re-enter the UK market, there are serious concerns this may have a dramatic affect on the servicing of policies and the settlement of future claims.
If you have a policy with Quinn through another broker then we would welcome enquiries from those seeking to transfer their insurance to a secure market.
10/12/2009 - We are pleased to announce that the terms of our preserved vehicle scheme with Chaucer have recently been extended and we now have even more flexibility! In particular, the standard driver age limit has increased to 75 years of age (other ages are considered) and we have new lower rates for Private Hire Use that will make our premiums even more competitive. We can extend Social Domestic and Pleasure Use to Private Hire use on a per day basis subject to a maximum of 15 days per year. This will be of interest for vehicle owners that may be asked to do the occasional wedding or event and will mean they do not need the full Private Hire policy.
