Insurance broker joins TyreSafe

There was a positive start to the year for TyreSafe with the announcement of a new member – Adrian Flux Insurance Services is one of the UK’s leading motor insurance firms and the first TyreSafe member from the insurance sector.

The company covers everything from standard cars to classics, modified vehicles, supercars and kit cars. With such a strong market presence it will bring a wealth of knowledge and industry expertise which will be used in future TyreSafe campaigns.

Stuart Jackson, chairman, TyreSafe, said: “It’s more than just a case of new year, new member for TyreSafe because we are really delighted to say that this is the first insurance broker to join our ranks.

“It’s especially pleasing because Adrian Flux boasts such a strong web presence, which we hope to tap in to. However, we won’t sit on our laurels and are looking forward to encouraging many more new members in 2012, especially those from the insurance sector as they can bring a unique insight to the issues surrounding tyre safety through their involvement with customers making motor insurance claims, particularly tyre-related ones.”

Since its inception six years ago, TyreSafe’s activities have helped reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured each year in a tyre related accident by 38 per cent.

Gerry Bucke, general manager, Adrian Flux Insurance Services said: “TyreSafe has been doing a great job raising the awareness about the dangers associated with illegal or defective tyres, so we’re pleased to get involved and lend our support. And as a market leader Adrian Flux has always been keen to lead where others follow, so we’re very excited to be the first insurance company to join the organisation.

“Of course, our line of work means we see on a daily basis the human and financial cost of tyre-related accidents, many of which might have been prevented by a few simple checks which take just a matter of minutes.”
