The Born Free Foundation is an international wildlife charity working throughout the world to stop wild animals from suffering and to protect threatened species.
 
As with all charities, one of the main challenges it faces is to ensure as many pennies in the pound as possible go directly towards helping the cause.
 
This means making sure that Born Free’s insurances provide wide coverage whilst remaining cost effective is a key objective and partnering with a broker who can ensure their premiums stay competitive, without affecting their cover, is particularly important.
 
Born Free chose to work with Steve Nurse, Account Executive of Oval Insurance Broking (Oval), because of Oval’s expertise in arranging insurance for the charity sector and their ability to deliver on both policy coverage and financial requirements. This coupled with Oval providing a local resource via their Chichester branch very much appealed to the charity as should a claim need to be made or a policy issue occur, they can meet locally to discuss and resolve in person.
 
Stephen Chandler, Finance Manager, of the Born Free Foundation said, “I am very pleased to be working with Steve and Oval to manage our risk and associated costs. The firm offered an all encompassing proposal and I was also pleased to find that they have a local Chichester based office, which as we are based in Horsham, provides an excellent opportunity for us to build a strong relationship with our advisors.”
