Michael Ward Insurance

[Mart-1]

I'm trying to obtain some insurance quotes and using the PH search facility Michael Ward Associates seems to be well liked and recommended

His listed number from various sources (01707 266303) is completely dead and I wondered if anyone knows if they are still in business? I guess it could be that their lines happen to be down today

Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Martin

I saw this company listed on Google when I searched for Michael Ward Associates, but they as they are called Mercury West Associates I assumed they area completely different company

I see they also have offices in Hatfield

Depending on what you are trying to insure a lot of the Guys over on Clubscuderia have swopped over from MWA to Locktons Insurance http://www.lockton.com/Services-And-Solutions/Ferr...
Seems to be lots of praise for them, also Michael Ward Associates have changed their name to Mercury West Associates.

Michael left a few years ago. Give Ben a call and he will be able to help.

Changed name in the last year, still the same company; as said, speak to Ben.

Many thanks for the tips and advice

Locktons were on my list so that's good to know they're also recommended

Incidentally, i'm looking for insurance for the first time in over a decade, as previously my car store offered clients an option to buy into their group insurance policy, which has been a very easy and a much cheaper way to insure cars - most people drive their cars infrequently on holidays / weekends now and again

The government has apparently just changed the law so that indivuduals now have to take out personal insurance if their car is taxed. Buying cover through a group policy is seemingly no longer permitted

Another vote for Locktons. Excellent coverage and really good premium on my 360. Contact claire at [e-mail]

Nothing but praise from me too. Not only from a premium basis, but also when the unthinkable happened and I wrote the last Ferrari off. They could not have been more helpful and made the whole process so much easier than it could have been.

Hagerty changed their underwriting criteria
No cars newer than 2000, max mls 3000pa & no under 30's
this lost them loads of clients to Lockton's last year when it was introduced.
The policy they used (future classic) did not attract NCB I wrote to them asking for a letter to say that I had not claimed while insured with them and they did not even have the courtesy to reply!

Keep up at the back there Sy, it was over a year ago

They really don't like off-roading very much but I still managed to reverse it back out through the hedge, out of the field, and get it home! Tough little cars those 348s
