Somerset broker expands to help business owners and older people get travel cover

Somerset health insurance broker Lesson Moore have expanded their expertise after spotting that business owners and older clients were finding it hard to get cover for travel.

The company, which launched in 2015, found that many clients were either excluded from travel insurance because they had pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, cancer or epilepsy or that their age was making it expensive.

Lesson Moore Director Martin Blain said:

“We found that business owners were not aware that they could take annual travel cover when existing health conditions were making it either impossible or very expensive.   With certain business travel insurance plans, the underwriting is on ‘fit to travel’ basis so you can use your status to find a policy to cover both business and leisure.”

“Similarly if you’re older than 65 we’ve found good options for cover by teaming up with specialist provider justtravelcover.com.”

“To get affordable travel insurance try the specialist companies first – often not quoted on the comparison websites.”

Lesson Moore is based in Radstock, Somerset and provides specialist advice and support for businesses and individuals looking for a new deal on their health insurance.

North Bristol based mobile telecoms roaming and security specialist Evolved Intelligence Limited regularly have staff on trips around the world and were buying business travel cover as and when required. CEO Paul Gill found that an annual business package made more sense and he’s been able to add leisure insurance, including winter sports, as a perk for staff. He says:

“I have up to ten staff who travel to places such as Mexico, Middle East and USA throughout the year.  When Lesson Moore suggested an annual policy it made perfect sense and the process was quick and easy, as we’ve not had to fill complicated medical forms.  Anyone can travel as long as they’ve not been told they can’t by a doctor.”

“We’ve particularly benefitted as one of our team did not have to declare treatment for a serious condition just a year ago, and another member of staff took their whole family on a ski trip with the leisure option we included as a perk.”
