ABACUS Out & About

It is almost impossible to comprehend the fact that three months have passed since we welcomed in the New Year, but here we are in April, and although we are still shivering and layering up here in Southend, the ABACUS team have been keeping warm in our office, working diligently to deal with all different types of broker enquiries. Robin has been travelling as usual to a few nice places over the past couple of months, read on to find out more about his visits…

February Miles & Smiles

Number of Brokers Seen – 44

Number of Miles Travelled – 2,447

In February Robin made 44 visits; starting off in by visiting one of our brokers in Blackburn, where they discussed their growing need for unoccupied property insurance quotes and were pleased to report that our team have been providing a good level of service that they appreciate which Robin was delighted to hear. During the second week of February, Robin was travelling to places such as Coxhoe, Consett and County Durham. Robin was happy to report that some brokers he had spoken to in the week were pleased with our Commercial property insurance and the flexibility of the rating systems, which was making it easier for them to gain insurance quotes for clients with non-standard properties. One of the highlights for Robin in February was going to watch football at Meadow Lane Stadium in Nottingham, to see Notts County F. C play with brokers from Appletons Insurance. Robin was not so happy with the football result though, a 4-0 smashing over his beloved Southend United.

March Miles & Smiles

Number of Brokers Seen – 36

Number of Miles Travelled – 2,526

March brought about national events such as St Patricks Day and Mother’s Day, and here in Southend we were all wishing to see just a peak of the sun that the onset of spring often brings… we were all sorely disappointed… but it did not harm our spirits here in the office, and Robin was still bouncing back and forth extending greetings to brokers far and wide. Starting of with a broker nearby in Colchester, then travelling to Watford and Leeds. When he visited the broker in Leeds he was greeted with a hefty amount of snow, which is always a novelty! He went to visit a broker in Blackpool and saw Blackpool Tower on the drive there and was happy to support in product refreshers and discussions of risk placements whilst visiting the brokers there. The highlight of this month was taking a handful of brokers to Chepstow Races, in which Robin may have only won/lost a little bit of money but was able to discuss the return of our Residential Let Legal Expenses and Optional Rent Protection products and provide support and a personal touch to some of our broker friends, which is always a top priority for the team here at ABACUS.
