Maynard might be looking a little smug. BP Insurance Brokers Going somewhere...? Whatever time of year you go on holiday, getting away from it all should be a chance to relax and forget your worries for a while. Much as we’d like it to, though, preparing for a break is more than “passports, tickets, money”. Getting the right holiday insurance is essential, but too many people cut corners or - worse still - overlook it altogether.
Remember, holiday activities like skiing or bungee jumping might require extra cover, so it’s important that things like this are covered. As an established local firm, BP Insurance Brokers have access to policies that will cover pretty much any trip, from a chilled-out UK break to an action-packed overseas adventure.
It’s easy to focus on the prospect of rest and relaxation, without considering what can go wrong while you’re away. If you fall ill, are you entitled to medical care? What if holiday activities go awry and you have an accident? Even a simplesounding beach holiday has its risks, and if things don’t go to plan, the right insurance cover will help you avoid an awful lot of heartache and expense.
A little preparation makes all the difference, and understanding your insurance should be a part of your holiday routine. Knowing what you’re covered for, and how to claim if you need to, will give you peace of mind, and isn’t that what we all want when we head away on holiday? If required the right insurance can cover you in the event of your tour operator going bust, or industrial action cancelling your flights. Finally, don’t leave it until the last minute to arrange your cover! Visit BP Insurance Brokers in Cleveleys, call 01253 863636, or head to bpib.co.uk to find out more.
But then he has just got a fantastic deal on his car insurance.

Lancashire based BP Insurance Brokers understand that you don’t want to spend ages looking for the right kind of policy, and you certainly don’t want to have to pay through the nose for it. That’s why their friendly team will do the hard work for you, checking the market for travel cover that suits your upcoming trip. Where you’ll be going, how long you’ll be there, what you’ll be doing… there are so many different 148 Victoria Road West | Cleveleys | FY5 3NE things to consider, and so many 863636 | cleveleys@bpib.co.uk | bpib.co.uk different policies, that01253 it’s worth trusting the search to experts.

Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.
T
hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards. The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held. The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.
J T Byrne are a family business supporting families. Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.” The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

The new owners were Community Groups and Job Seekers who need them to maintain their searches and benefits. “What we do is very like the work of Animal Rescue charities,”, said Dave Carlos, the Clinic organiser. “We take unwanted and unloved hardware, bring it back to life and health and then ‘rehouse’ it with those who need and will use it. All for FREE!” The current problem is that the Clinic has more potential new owners that it has kit to rehouse! The Clinic has an active Facebook page – www.facebook.com/ wfcomputerclinic – where owners can leave details of their unwanted equipment and they will be contacted as soon as possible after leaving a message. The Clinic, an initiative of Emmanuel Church West, also continues its regular Monday sessions, every two weeks at the Rossall Tavern, Larkholme Parade, Fleetwood.
