Seamless renewal Insurance is something we need but hope we never use it. After my initial contract the first year (a brief call to confirm requirements) Mark Bates Ltd were conspicuous by the lack of follow up sales calls offering god knows what insurance options. Professional knowledgeable and respectful more companies need to take note.
I just renewed my policy again which I was happy with. I just made a quick message and had a quick reply answering my query. Price was good and the service was also good. I would recommend Mark Bates Ltd.,
Great straightforward service as always!
