VERITASS INSURANCE AND MORTGAGE BROKERS OAKWORTH (formerly Cross Hills) The Veritass office is now situated in the village of Oakworth next to the Health Centre. The company has been established for nearly twenty years and has been built up through recommendations and currently employs nine local people. Alison Jenkins, who is the director of Veritass, originally started trading from her home address in Sutton in 1990. The office in Cross Hills relocated to Oakworth in April 2008. Veritass’ achievements were recognized this year when Alison Jenkins, the company director, was selected as one of the business leaders in the millennium and the company is now included in the publication of “Who’s Who of Britain’s Business Elite”. Veritass can arrange all types of insurance and the staff offer a personal service to its customers. They are there to discuss any problems or queries either by calling in the office or telephoning. All calls are answered personally and promptly. They deal with a wide range of insurers and are currently negotiating a scheme with an insurance company who will offer discounted motor insurance rates for people in the village and surrounding areas. People are returning to Brokers. They are realising that the service and cover received from direct writers is inferior to the service and cover offered by local brokers. Statistics show that a very high proportion of cover arranged on the Internet is not correct and this can lead to policyholders being uninsured and possibly receiving motoring convictions. Veritass are also currently offering assistance to clients considering Equity Release. For more information visit their website www.veritass.co.uk or ring Alison on 01535 640457.
