No its not a scene from Downton Abbey, it's our very own Chalfont Hall (our offices situated on Gravel Hill, Chalfont St Peter). The snow hasn't hampered our spirits or indeed our ability to provide you with the Insurance solutions you need. We've even cleared the path for you  and we could even stretch to a warm drink to match the warm welcome. 

All we Hear is Radio Gaga, Radio GooGoo (apart from the below)

Last week saw the official opening of the Chalfont St Peter Community Library. This valuable community resource is now being run by a merry band of volunteers keen to show that cut backs at local level will not get in the way of community needs. Fairweather Insurance are proud to be an integral part of this project in our role as principle sponsor. Hear what managing director John Upton had to say to the You and Yours programme on BBC Radio 4 (43:30 minutes onwards)

In addition to our own rise to national radio celebrity status it seems our clients have been muscling in on the action. Water and money saving experts 'Save Water Save Money' (the clue is in the name) appeared on Simon Mayo's BBC Radio 2 drive time show on Friday evening. In the regular innovation slot, Director Tim Robertson, spoke about their Bath Bouy product. The idea being that this inflatable displaces water, therefore allowing you to use less, and provides fun for kids at bath time. Everyone seems to be a winner. Check out more of their products and saving water / money ideas at the following sites:

Have a good Monday

 Horse Play? 


A recent circular email arrived at my computer terminal today, the content of which I feel we must share. The article concerned an Employers Liability claim which had come into a broker where a farm hand had been knocked over by one of the farmers horses. Here, straight from the Broker's mouth, is what occurred;


 “The employee had claimed for future loss of earnings as a result of his injuries. A reasonable enough claim under the circumstances, but the claims department told me they would be contesting this. When I asked why, they informed me that the employee was actually an escaped prisoner and given he was supposed to be in prison at the time, and therefore not earning anything, they felt claiming for future loss of earnings was a bit rich!”


So it would appear that the 'employee' had tried a bit of off the hoof thinking but was instead sent galloping back to prison with a rather long face and his tail between his legs.
