Healthy Pets Insurance Snap up Rachel Burkill
June 2001
Rachel Burkill has joined Healthy Pets Insurance following over 10 years experience of the pet insurance industry with DBI and later Petplan. Recently Cornhill Insurance closed their Bournemouth office leaving the way open for Rachel to be snapped up by Healthy Pets to head their claims department.
In an increasingly competitive market, Healthy Pets has seen steady growth since they sold their first policy in 1996. The company pride themselves on being the dedicated friendly pet insurance company and have excellent claims records. Everybody at Healthy Pets owns and loves pets. Rachel is no exception working from home with her two much-loved Jack Russell Terriers and pair of lively little Guinea Pigs.
Originally joining DBI as a temp for 6 weeks, Rachel entered the industry as a claims clerk, progressing to team leader, supervisor, crisis manager and eventually she was selected to head claims. She said, "I have worked my way up through the pet insurance ranks and have enjoyed every minute. When the Bournemouth office closed, I was devastated. But all was not lost and I am now really enjoying working from, home for such a friendly and caring company".
Healthy Pets make insuring a pet easy without hiding behind small print. They offer a choice of two fixed excess levels and packages for multi-pet owning households. Their policies start at only £4.33 per month for one cat up to £29.24 if you own two dogs and two cats. Veterinary fees are paid up to £2,500 for any one illness including home visits if necessary. Once a pet is insured with Healthy Pets it will never be excluded because of its age. Healthy Pets settle your bills up to the plan maximum and in most cases deal directly with your vet. Should the need arise, they will even pay for complimentary medicine!
Healthy Pets policies are comprehensive and competitive. If an owner is taken ill suddenly and hospitalised for more than 96 hours, the policy covers boarding fees up to £300. They even pay towards advertising should a pet be lost or stolen.
