Advice from Towergate Coverex for customers with Quinn Insurance policies
based insurance broker Towergate Coverex today provided advice to customers who
may be concerned about the validity of their insurance policies underwritten by
Quinn Insurance.
This follows the Financial Regulator's decision to place Quinn Insurance
into permanent administration on Thursday 14 April. Quinn has a
sizeable number of
customers particularly in indemnity, construction and fleet sectors, in
addition to its direct motor arm for
customers may be concerned as to the security of their policies underwritten by
Quinn Insurance and they will need to make alternative plans at renewal time in
any event.
Mark Clayton, Managing Director of
Towergate Coverex said, ‘Policies underwritten by Quinn Insurance should be
legally valid following the Irish insurer falling into administration.
However we have been contacted by many customers who remain naturally
concerned about the impact the administration will have on their insurance and
risk management programmes. In all cases customers should contact their
insurance advisers.’
‘Quinn was not a preferred insurer of ours but we do recommend a number
of financially robust and stable insurers on behalf of our customers. So we are ready and
well positioned to provide professional advice to any local customer who may be
concerned about the status of their current insurance arrangement particularly
if their policy is due for renewal.’
