Lesson Moore Background
Our background was in the outsourced call centre arena, we’d worked with insurers and brokers for a number of years and we recognised an opportunity in the private medical insurance field.
It’s an arena where we felt most brokers seemed to take clients for granted and exploited their ‘inertia’, it’s an industry where there’s little innovation, an ageing workforce and few “outsiders” entering the fray. We’re the upstarts, interlopers from outside the Private Medical Insurance world and we pride ourselves on spotting things that many brokers miss.
Our mission is to help our clients to ‘pay less, get more’ from their health insurance.
Most of our clients had policies in place with existing advisors and we’ve reduced their premiums where the current broker had failed them.
We work with all the health insurers, acting as an intermediary; we act for our client to get the best deal possible.
Our approach is working, we’ve grown year on year and we retain over 95% of our clients at policy renewal.
How can we help you to “Pay Less”?
We’re health insurance specialists. Medical Insurance is a maze of complexity and we’ve gone out of our way to understand the market.
We’ve worked harder to understand the vast array of policies which opens up more options. We’ll often layer two or three policies together where a “lazy” broker will rely on one.
The lack of deep understanding from a general broker means clients are often paying for benefits they’ll never use or even more worryingly having cover that it’s not up to date with new medical developments.
We’re active members of our Trade Association to ensure we keep bang up to date with industry trends.
Many underwriting types increase premiums and changing these gets discounts.
We’ve agencies with all insurers; whilst many competitors only work with a handful limiting choice and options.
Nurturing insurer relationships has given us access to discount schemes not universally available. Our specialisation means insurers offer us the best terms for clients.
How can we help you to “Get More”?
Accurate and timely administration is vitally important in providing a service like ours, we’ve built a methodology which will be a legacy for future team members. Our bespoke CRM provides a single platform for client information enabling any team member to deal with a client’s enquiry. The task management facility gives “tick-list” guidance to 640 individual administrative tasks ensuring jobs are done on time with consistent quality.
Calls to our reception number are answered 24/7 so you’ll always be able to get hold of us, you call may be recorded for quality and training purposes which is another way that we look to ensure our service is always top drawer.
There’s also an on-line “Help” section where you can carry out most of the functions you’ll need to administer your policy (https://www.lessonmoore.co.uk/help).
We go out of our way to support you if you are in the unfortunate position of needing to claim on your policy. We’ve a proven track record of guiding clients through tricky claims, Ewen Logan of Tija Marketing said: “I had a difficult time making a claim, but Lesson Moore took the stress out of the process.”

“I joined Lesson Moore in June 2020 after Martin & Simon kindly tossed me a lifebelt in the midst of the COVID related storm. I have a somewhat varied background consisting of a variety of account manager and customer facing roles across a range of industries including Media, Events & IT. I’ve undertaken an intensive Health Insurance bootcamp since joining the team and am now in the thick of it, handling policy renewals and busily expanding our dental & EAP offerings, and despite the oddities of joining a business in lockdown have even managed to meet the team!
Outside of the office I split my time between agonising over the results of a litany of sports teams, upsetting my neighbours with music played at the appropriate level and more frequently entertaining, or being entertained, by my near 1 year old son & wife.”

“I joined Lesson Moore at the start of 2018. I love my role as it’s challenging yet rewarding and I am continually learning new skills – it’s a great team to be a part of.
I’m always building my product knowledge and being in the office I can’t help but pick up new things every day.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two young children so I’m always on the go! To relax I love running, I completed the Bath Half marathon this year and I’m now considering going for a full marathon, when I’m not exercising I love watching Netflix with my husband!”

“My role is “Queen Bee”, I check everything and everybody. I have to get through lots of tasks everyday and to keep calm, my trick when things get busy is to focus on the task I’m doing and not to get distracted by the tasks that are building up.
If you’re a client, then you’ll come across me handling renewals and placing applications and supporting you with the day to day running of your policy.
Outside of work I’m kept busy by my two young sons and supporting my husband’s Taekwondo Academy, http://des-tkd.co.uk/.”

“Lesson Moore is the fourth business that I’ve been involved in starting. I love building teams and helping people to achieve their best. I set high standards and want us to be a business that others will admire and that we can be proud of.
Outside of work I’m a family man with three (adult) children, I love to ride my bike, spend hours fishing and to get very frustrated following the “mighty” Yeovil Town FC.”

“I’ve worked with Martin Blain since 2004 and I’ve now become an insurance “nerd” as I live and breathe medical insurance, I genuinely love my role in assisting clients save money on their premiums. My biggest achievement to date was being shortlisted to the last three in one of the individual categories at the National Health Insurance Awards and although I was “pipped to the post” I’m delighted that I’ve finally managed to make my mum proud!
When I haven’t got my nose in an insurance brochure I’ll typically be pottering about my camper van and spending time with my girlfriend. I’m an animal lover, I support various animal charities and we have a beautiful rescue puppy called Luca who is a mammoth Rottweiler (possibly crossed with a bear) who we adore.”
