A FAMILY-RUN insurance group has launched a new arm of the business for UK woodland owners.

Fiveways Insurance Group, which was originally established in 1967, has introduced Woodways Woodland Insurance and already has a specialist portfolio of more than 1,250 policyholders.

Fiveways owner Nigel West said: “This is just the start for Woodways Woodland Insurance and we are looking forward to meeting many more woodland owners to learn from each other and share our knowledge in order to develop the woodland scheme for the benefit of our woodland owners.

“What has already surprised us is the number of landowners who have been told or believe they don’t need insurance.

“We want to share our insurance industry experience which spans more than 50 years and make sure people are appropriately covered for the circumstances they could face.” 

Nigel runs Fiveways Insurance Group with his wife, Lisa, and their son Daniel. The firm, which has offices in Stafford and Newport, Shropshire, was taken over by Nigel’s parents in 1983.
