Bollington selects Keycare to boost home insurance offering for foster carers

Bollington Insurance Brokers - one of the UK’s largest independent insurance brokers - is including Keycare’s cover for lost and stolen keys in its home insurance provision for foster carers.

Operating out of four offices across the North West, Bollington provides home insurance and specialist cover for FosterTalk - a not-for-profit membership organisation which provides advice, information and support for foster carers.

Mark Bowers, marketing communications executive for Bollington Insurance Brokers, explained: “Many foster carers struggle to obtain appropriate or competitively priced home insurance because standard personal home insurance policies do not allow for the types of risk that come into play where foster children are involved. That is why we have developed specific insurance for FosterTalk members.

“We have worked with Keycare before and they have always been an efficient provider. Offering Keycare cover as part of the package gives us a useful additional selling point.”

Said Keycare chief executive David Robertson: “It is rewarding that our expertise will help members of FosterTalk - a tremendous organisation which makes a big difference to foster carers and the children and young people they look after.”

The latest contract follows a raft of new business wins for Shipley-based Keycare - the UK’s largest provider of insurance for lost and stolen keys whose clients span small and medium sized enterprises and blue chip organisations across sectors including banking, motor insurance and retail.

Across the last 12 months the business has clinched contracts with high profile names including NCI Vehicle Rescue PLC, Go Skippy Car Insurance - and auto insurer Chaucer Direct.

In the last few months alone Keycare has made a hat trick of senior board appointments and promoted three employees to associate directors.

As the price of replacing keys continues to rocket - in some instances electronically programmed keys can cost as much as £1,000 or more to replace - Keycare’s products provide reassurance to customers if they lose their keys.
