Evans Cycles chooses Pavilion

July 21, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Pavilion Insurance, the specialist bicycle insurance operator, announces the commencement of a three year agreement to provide Evans Cycles with a fully branded, bespoke insurance policy. The policy will be marketed under the name Evans Cycles Insurance and delivered via a dedicated website and through Pavilion’s call centre on the dedicated number 0870 164 4022.

The policy features a maximum bicycle value of £10,000 and a lowered age criterion which makes it suitable for children aged 10 upwards.

Marketing Director Giles Rees says “We are delighted that Evans Cycles have chosen Pavilion to provide their bicycle insurance policy. They are a key figure in the cycle industry and it’s confirmation that Pavilion is now the predominant name in cycle insurance.”

Thanks to Pavilions ISIS software, completion of the project took just 8 weeks. Evans Cycles Insurance customers are able to transact all aspects of their policy online, from change of address and bicycle details, upgrade of policy options right through to instant online renewal.

Ben Hart, Marketing Manager for Evans Cycles says “The policy that we’ve created for our customers is second to none. Bicycle security is a real concern for our customers, many of which cycle to and from work and have to leave their bikes in public areas for extended periods of time. A lock has always been considered an essential purchase by cyclists, but nowadays insurance is just as much a requirement of bike ownership.”
