John & Sandra provide life saving cakes to the taxi insurance team!!

Paying to ‘dress down’ (with a nautical theme!) for the day, selling home-made cakes, buying raffle tickets and badges have been some of the ways the taxi insurance team have endeavoured to fundraise for the charity.

The RNLI relies entirely on voluntary contributions and receives no funding from the government.  This is one of the reasons why the taxi insurance crew have a day like this each year.

We’re pleased to announce that the insureTAXI team raised £390.90 which will provide a new ‘state of the art’ light-weight lifejacket & some sea wellies for a volunteer crew member.

The event was organised by one of our Business Insurance Advisors, John Lawson and his wife Sandra.  Thanks to you both for all of your efforts!

County Insurance (including many of the insureTAXI team) win 3-0 against Kindertons!

insureTAXI, cheap taxi insurance providers, host an annual 11-a-side football match with local Accident Management Company Kindertons.  This year, we’re delighted to say that we WON!!

The insureTAXI, taxi insurance team, part of County Insurance Consultants Ltd. made up the majority of the winning football team!

Kindertons were beaten 3-0  and it was their first lose out of three games.

We did have two ‘secret weapons’!

Jimmy Quinn, Nantwich Town FC manager and  previous West Ham, Blackburn, Swindon Town, Reading and Northern Ireland footballer played a full match for us.  Our car and home insurance department, insurance4your, sponsor Nantwich Town’s first team shirts.

Jimmy Quinn helped the County Insurance team to victory!

Also, Mat Bailey played for the County Insurance team.  Mat works as a taxi insurance advisor and is also a part-time semi-professional footballer.  He plays for Nantwich Town and was captain when they played MK Dons earlier this season when they reached the first round of the FA Cup proper!

Mat Bailey, scoring here for Nantwich Town, made a big impact on the field in the County Insurance Vs Kindertons match!

Special congratulations go to Johny Kettle (also a taxi insurance advisor) as he won “Man of the Match” after scoring 2 goals!  Mark Brown, who works at our Southport branch of insureTAXI, scored the third goal.

Kindertons, the Accident Management company we use to supply our taxi insurance customers with plated replacement vehicles should they have a non-fault accident, played well but were defeated on this occasion!

We look forward to the next match in a years time guys!!

Happy New Year from all of the insureTAXI Team!

insureTAXI would like to wish all of our valued taxi insurance customers a Happy New Year!

We wish you all the best for a successful 2012!

The 3 volunteers did not quite realise what an eye watering experience it was – the pictures tell the story(!) – However, it was all for a fantastic cause and well over £500 was raised.

YESTERDAY was an exciting day for insureTAXI (providers of great value taxi insurance)! 

ITV came to our head office in Crewe to film a news story!

Insurance4your, our private car, home and van insurance department are proud sponsors of Nantwich Town Football Club (Evo Stick Premier League) who are impressively through to the first round of the FA Cup!!  One of their top players, Mat Bailey, also works as a taxi insurance advisor for insureTAXI!

In the build up to NTFC’s big game against MK Dons on Saturday (12^th November), ITV were interested to know how Mat balances his career at insureTAXI and being a professional footballer. 

Mat has taken the sensible decision to plan for his life after football by starting to work for County Insurance (insureTAXI’s parent company) as a taxi insurance advisor.  It’s his first ever job!

Mat balances his work life at insureTAXI (Taxi Insurance Specialists) with playing semi-professional football

“It’s been a big change for me but one that I’m really enjoying” says Mat. “Adapting to life in an office after being a full-time professional footballer has been an eye opener but the team at insureTAXI are genuinely brilliant and it’s been much easier than I expected!”           

“I’m really enjoying it and for me it’s the best of both worlds at the moment.  I am learning an important and long lasting skill being a taxi insurance advisor and hope to complete my Cert CII qualifications.  It’s a varied role and quite fast-paced.  It’s great to get customers the best deal on their taxi insurance.  At the same time I am still a semi-professional footballer, playing for a great club like Nantwich who have a strong team and experienced manager in Jimmy Quinn”

Mat scored one of the goals and was also “Man of the Match” in the game that put NTFC through to the FA Cup first round in their 3-2 victory over Northwich Victoria last week.

County Insurance’s Tim Crighton (Director) comments “We are very proud of Mat and the team’s achievement!  We’re looking forward to travelling down to Milton Keynes to watch them play this important match.” 

Tim continues with saying “Mat has done a great job for us, so we’re pleased to support him in his sporting career.  As he’s played at a top level, he’s completely used to the importance of teamwork; you can certainly see this in the office environment.  He has integrated into the insureTAXI team perfectly, has an upbeat personality and brings a winning mentality to his role.   He is very bright, which has probably aided his sporting development too.”

So what would happen if a bigger sporting opportunity came along? “We would support Mat 100% if he had the opportunity to play at the highest level.  He would leave with our best wishes and we’d keep the door open for him if he ever wanted to return.  We admire him as he is doing the sensible thing in building a career in a respected industry for after his football days.  However, if he gets an opportunity to climb the sporting ladder even further, we’d be delighted for him”.

The story will be aired at 6pm on Friday (11^th November) on ITV Granada.
