A friend recommended I considered joining, I’ve never looked back, it’s so good. Supportive by paying dental and optical claims, excellent service. Would I recommend becoming a member? Definitely! Yes.
10/10 for customer service and value for money. Just perfect.
The financial sickness benefit support I received when I was hospitalised and unable to work was extremely helpful as I was self employed.
