There are two great reasons to switch you business insurance to Park Royal Insurance:

Park Royal Insurance is a trading name of Towergate Underwriting Group Limited (Towergate), Europe’s largest independently owned insurance intermediary, with a turnover of more than £2.5 billion of gross written premium across the Company.  PRP selected Towergate as a key partner to launch Park Royal Insurance because of their wealth of experience of commercial insurance coupled with a detailed understanding of the Park Royal area. The partnership between PRP and Towergate is of additional value to businesses in the Park Royal area as Towergate possess excellent industry knowledge and expertise, supported by access to over 200 insurance products.

The objective of this partnership is to launch an estate wide portfolio insurance scheme. This encompasses more than 200 different insurance products and is designed to help businesses within the Park Royal catchment to benefit from premium reductions. As participation to the scheme increases, an estate wide portfolio scheme will provide businesses in the Park Royal catchment with better protection against claims. Members of the Park Royal Partnership Group benefit from a free insurance diagnostic with Towergate.

The free diagnostic includes a full review of your current insurance arrangements and gathers sufficient information to prepare and provide you with a no-obligation insurance quotation as well as details of the recommended insurer and cover.

An early beneficiary of the scheme is local automobile trader Tony Fowkes. Faced with the prospect of having no insurance within a few days when their insurer pulled out of the market, Tony Fowkes Automobiles were introduced to Towergate Risk Solutions, the Park Royal Partnership’s recommended Commercial Insurance Providers.

Andy Fowkes of Tony Fowkes Automobiles said “Andrew from Towergate came to see us right away and gave us sound advice and options immediately which meant that we did not need to worry about being uninsured.  An extension of cover was negotiated with our insurer and Andrew arranged an alternative that has not only provided us with additional cover that we did not have before, but has also reduced the cost of our insurance which is one of the more significant costs in our business. Trading without insurance in our business is not an option and without Towergate’s prompt action the prospect of not trading could have been a very real one.  We are very pleased with the service that Towergate have delivered and that as Park Royal Partnership members we were able to benefit from their work with it’s members.”
