A bit expensive but it was nice to have someone to speak to over the phone and deal with my policy on a personal level. However if the price doesn’t reduce for next year I will be shopping around again.

Hello Mr Bamford, thank you for renewing your insurance with us for another year. We always look to get our customers the best possible price and can see you have paid less this year than you did last year. When your renewal is due we will search our panel again to hopefully improve the price even further.
