Report
No body actively wants to buy insurance and if you're like me, you find the whole process complicated and full of pitfalls. Had previously bought my insurance via the Opera singer on the TV, but, last year, when it came to making a claim, it turned out to be a complete nightmare. Then I was recommended to speak to Paul Jackson at Sydney Packetts & Sons in Shipley. They took a detailed look at all my insurance policies and I soon realised I was paying too much for my insurance and that I also had similar policies which were identical, from various sources and they saved me a fortune by consolidating my cover, and reducing my monthly premiums. These guys know what they're doing.
