Fantastic improvements on brass band policies give extra value and peace of mind to customers.

Brass Band Insurance Services have announced an important update in their policies which will give their numerous brass band customers both extra value for money and greater peace of mind.

New improvements

There is now no excess on band claims (it was £25), and bands no longer have to list instruments under £7,000 (this used to be £5,000).

BBIS Manager Karen Davis: "This is another step that we have taken to give extra value and peace of mind to our most important customers – the bands themselves."

Karen added: "If anyone wishes to discuss how this will affect their current or a potentially new policy then please feel free to contact us direct. We are always on hand to help."
