them, including my daughter, and all report ABT know what they are talking about and I see the peace of mind this gives to practitioners so am happy to recommend them.”

Penny Turvey, expert in Electrolysis for hair removal and blemish treatments, adds:

“ABT have been my insurance company for many years. They cover me for electrolysis hair removal and Advanced Cosmetic Procedures. They are also the accreditation company for my training courses. I have always been extremely happy with the service I receive. They are prompt at taking my calls, thorough in providing any information I require and understand the nature of both my businesses. This is reassuring and refreshing as it gives me confidence that I am dealing with a company which cares for me as their customer, takes the time to know what I need from them and are very competitively priced with their insurance packages. Whenever I am asked about insurance companies I never have any hesitation in recommending ABT.”
