Instruments We Insure
​

Coronavirus
 
Everything we do is in the interests of our customers, our staff and the communities we live and work within, this is particularly important during these challenging times. To help alleviate some of the problems Coronavirus may cause, we have decided that all our staff will be working from home for the foreseeable future, this not only helps reduce social contact but helps staff with school aged children with childcare arrangements (please excuse the occasional interruption if you hear a small child playing in the background), we are therefore operating completely normally.
 
Please stay safe and well and we look forward to meeting you all at the future events we attend.

"I have had all my harps insured with Jack hayward Insurance for many years and it’s great to know they are just a phone call away in an emergency! They offer an excellent policy that’s great value for money  - with the option of including extras like public liability insurance and cover for accessories like trollies, stills etc. They are great value and making small changes to existing cover is never a problem. I recommend them to all my pupils. Brilliant service."

"As a multi-instrumentalist I have always insured my instruments with Jack Hayward Insurance and have nothing but the highest praise for the efficient service they provide. An extremely costly repair to the soundboard of my harp was dealt with to my complete satisfaction some years ago, with a suitable interim replacement offered even though I didn’t need it on this occasion. A recent major disaster to my bassoon was similarly effected by way of a single email, even including retrospective petrol expenses for two round trips to the specialist repairer! Adding new instruments (or removing old ones) is dealt with seamlessly and efficiently, ensuring instant cover from the moment details are provided. 
I recommend Jack Hayward Insurance to all my friends and pupils and am eternally grateful for the excellent service they have provided for me over the years. Well done!"
