Thameside Business Association Members   Alan Kafoor Academy Insurance Services Buying insurance is a noisy business. There is no shortage of organisations shouting how good they are at you from Internet search engines. Plenty more are bellowing out about the excellence of their service from the pages of daily newspapers or screaming out from televisions and radios about the brilliance of their policy cover. No wonder buying insurance can give you a headache. So, what makes us different? Well, we recognise that what you really want is someone to listen to your needs and quietly go about looking for the right solutions for you. We understand that buying insurance isn’t up there with holidays or birthday parties. It’s simply a necessity of life that needs to be dealt with. It’s why we don’t sell most types of insurance from our website. We think getting to know your needs is vitally important and the best way to do that is with a quick chat. It doesn’t take long but it helps us find the right policy for you. We listen, act and deliver. I’m looking for anybody interested in private or commercial business insurance. Motor or non motor, pets or travel…I’m here to deliver your needs and offer personal service.  FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ACADEMY INSURANCE HERE >> Tel: 01784 461131 Fax: 01784 460576 Email: alan.kafoor@academyinsurance.co.uk Web: www.academyinsurance.co.uk     Steve Bealing ASC Finance for Business Steve specialises in arranging business finance for business people in all situations including property development, raising working capital, buy-to-lets, bridging, buying a partner out and tenants buying freeholds.
