Walter Blunden is celebrating his own jubilee milestone this year- 50 years with the same broker and insurer.

Scullard & Prosser has placed the 86-year-old's motor insurance with NIG for the past 50 years.

The broker presented Blunden with a tankard, bottle of champagne and free year's insurance to celebrate their long relationship.

In the 50 years, Blunden had only one accident, when he was hit near his house by a car reversing out of a driveway. He got his license before a driving test was required, although he completed a police simulator check 12 years ago with flying colours.

Scullard & Prosser partner Rod Lynn said, despite the enormous changes in insurance over the past 50 years, some fundamentals remained. "Trust, relationships and customer services are still jus as important," he said.
