Glenrand M-I-B sponsors Kirstenbosch Chelsea Flower display at East Coast Radio House & Garden Show

As sponsor of the Kirstenbosch Chelsea Flower Show display at the East Coast Radio House & Garden Show, Glenrand M-I-B is particularly proud of South Africa's performance in London. "The South African National Biodiversity Institute's (SANBI's) 2010 Kirstenbosch - 'Bio diversity is the variety of life' won a silver medal at the Chelsea Flower Show. The award winning design will be recreated for East Coasters to view at the House & Garden show from 23 July - 1 August 2010," explains Mandy Barrett, Manager Marketing Sales and Service, Product Solutions at Glenrand M-I-B.

The East Coast Radio House & Garden Show is KZN's largest home and lifestyle show and celebrates 30 successful years of helping visitors make the most of their homes and living environments.

"Our sponsorship of this display is very much in line with our brand ethos of intuition, expertise and passion - the three key principals we apply in formulating short-term insurance solutions for our clients to protect their most valuable assets such as their homes, household contents and vehicles. We know that people spend a significant portion of their income on purchasing, furnishing and upgrading their home. In fact for many people, their home and living areas are their absolute passion and it makes sense to engage with an insurance partner that understands the true value of these hard-earned assets," explains Mandy.

"Let's face it - most of us don't pay enough attention to the detail and fine print of our insurance policies. And the bottom line is, failure to do so can cost you a wheelbarrow full of money that you don't have and most of all, could be avoided entirely by taking 30 minutes to critically review and update the true value of your insurable assets once a year.

"Our Glenrand M-I-B lounge at the House& Garden Show will be a relaxing area for visitors to find out more about risk managing their personal insurance costs without under-insuring in the process. Our emphasis is on right sizing your covers and seeking economies where they are to be found by examining your insurance portfolio on a proper needs analysis basis. Profiling of clients on an individual basis has reached high levels of sophistication at Glenrand M.I.B and as a result we have one of the lowest churn rates in the industry," concludes Mandy.
