Hat trick for insurer

This recent award saw the local insurers named Personal Lines Broker of the Year at the Insurance Times industry awards in London.

This win is the latest in a hat trick of awards for the company, which also recently won for its anti-fraud handling skills the 2011 Insurance Fraud Awards – Combating Fraud Broking Initiative of the Year, and for its staff magazine 2011 CIPR Pride Award – Gold Winner for Best Internal Magazine.

Edward Fitzmaurice, Hastings Direct’s Chief Executive Officer said: “I am incredibly proud of all our staff’s efforts and hard work in helping to get us this recognition, and I am even more excited by the potential we still have to achieve. I firmly believe that if we keep doing what we are doing, we will not just be regarded as one of the best in the UK but one of the best companies in Europe.”

Hastings Direct says it is one of the UK’s fastest growing retailers of insurance products and boasts that a customer takes out a policy with the company every 41 seconds. It has performed and grown considerably in 2011 and now employs around 1,200 staff.
