The phone is always answered promptly by a real person that I can understand and talk with, they are very thorough and knowledgeable and if they don’t know the answer they find out, they are always willing to listen and get you the best deal, this time I spoke with Tay when renewing my insurance, he was all of the above and more, genuinely a nice person who comes across well on the phone. I had an issue when I was in Europe and spoke with an equally nice lady who solved my problem and emailed me with confirmation of our conversation, keep up the great work, I’m so glad we could renew with you guys at Howdens

Insurance difficulties
I briefly left Aplan to insure with BMW as my partner had an outstanding insurance claim now corrected to non fault. But now we have come back to Howdens who have been most supportive and helpful. Thanks soooo much
