Insure your groom for Xmas

With less than a month to go until Christmas the BGA has the perfect gift idea for any equine employer....

Can you afford for your groom not to be a British Grooms Association (BGA) insured member? Membership to the grooms’ professional association is a great Christmas present that makes sense and will last all year long.

The BGA now offers a comprehensive range of membership options following the introduction of the new ‘Platinum Membership’. The addition of this fourth option means that the BGA now includes SEIB Personal Accident Insurance on three of their membership categories, catering for everyone from students through to experienced high earning staff.

The BGA is committed to raising the awareness and take up of insurance for grooms and has noticed that 70% of members are now choosing membership options that include insurance.

Lucy Katan, Executive Director of the BGA says, “It is of great benefit to an employer to ensure that your staff have their own personal accident insurance cover. If your employee gets injured and is unable to work, you are legally required to pay Statutory Sick Pay (current rate of £79.15 per week). By ensuring they have their own personal accident insurance cover you can be confident that your groom has additional financial security and that you have enough funds to pay for a temporary replacement.”
