East Yorkshire broker has formed a new health insurance division

The Insurance Partnership, a broker in East Yorkshire, has recently formed a new health insurance division.

Health Insurance Brokers was brought into The Insurance Partnership group of companies in April 2007.

Health Insurance Brokers was established in 2000 with Stan Richards and Jo Wood.

Aside from private medical insurance, Health Insurance Brokers offers cash plans and occupational health services. The team also works with companies to provide HR support, such as absence management and stress counselling.

Jo Wood explained: “The insurance market is changing rapidly. We have access to all major medical insurers and know what they are offering, which enables us to source lower premiums and offer better value for money to our clients. It is often possible to save money with the same insurer, just by knowing what new policies are on the market.”

Ian Hakes, chairman of The Insurance Partnership, said: “This latest development highlights The Insurance Partnership’s continued commitment to offering the best customer service and support as possible. The Health Insurance Brokers team brings over 35 years’ of industry experience to the company, which will enable us to provide the most informed and transparent health insurance advice in the region.”

Stan Richards commented on the move: “Jo and I are thrilled to be sharing our expertise with such a rapidly expanding company. We are aware of the best policies available on the health insurance market, which inevitably saves our clients money. We are relishing the opportunity to pass our knowledge onto The Insurance Partnership’s clients.”

Having recently moved to prestigious new premises on Priory Park in Hull and implementing a customer-focused company restructure, The Insurance Partnership is a regional success story. Established in 1993, The Insurance Partnership employs over 100 members of staff, handles £30 million of its clients’ money each year and continues to operate as one of Hull and East Yorkshire’s leading commercial insurance brokers.
