Insurer Peach will provide a multi-million-pound capacity facility to First Senior Insurance to support its portfolio of mobility insurance and extended warranty products, which it distributes through a nationwide network of appointed representatives.

First Senior offers cover for a range of mobility devices including mobility scooters, powerchairs, stairlifts and related equipment.

Russell White, CEO of Peach, said: “First Senior has spent three decades building deep expertise in the mobility market. We look to partner with specialists who share our values and put long term customer outcomes at the centre of what they do and this scheme is a great example of that in action.”

James Nicholls, group managing director at First Senior, added: “Changing insurers is rarely quick or painless, but working with Peach has been a very different experience. From our first conversation last year to going live for customers has taken around six months, which is exceptionally fast in our world.”

“The new scheme gives us market leading cover for higher value powerchairs and mobility solutions, at pricing that keeps protection accessible for people who rely on this equipment every day. It also creates a strong platform for further product development as we continue to grow our business.”
