Quartz Insurance Brokers provide Rescue & Repatriation Insurance for Tropic 4 Cancer
Posted on September 23rd, 2013
Quartz Insurance Brokers, based in Bristol, specialise in placing unusual and often tricky risks into the UK insurance market.
Traditionally they have been the broker of choice for TV and Media companies, and more recently have adopted a new specialism in the area of adventure travel insurance.
As any traveller will be aware, standard travel insurance is all very well if your plans extend no further than lounging on a beach in Spain, but if you seek something more adventurous, insurers will often turn their backs.
So Quartz Insurance Brokers fills that gap and provides specialist travel insurance tailored for the individual expedition; whether that is to an excluded country or undertaking activities usually excluded by insurers.
Richard’s ‘Rescue and Repatriation’ insurance provides him with cover for search and rescue, personal possessions and medical expenses, should the worst happen!
The Southdowns Natural Mineral Water supplies Tropic 4 Cancer transatlantic challenge
Posted on September 14th, 2013
Fresh drinking water supplies for the Tropic 4 Cancer transatlantic challenge are being provided by The Southdowns Natural Mineral Water of Windsor House. Richard will be taking 120 litres of fresh water for the crossing.
The Southdowns Natural Mineral Water is drawn from over 400ft underground, enriched with minerals deep from within the Sussex Downs and is untouched at source – producing water of unrivalled quality and taste.
The spring was first tapped in 1918, to provide a supply of fresh water to a US Air Force airfield. After the war, the water was used to supply local houses and even a local ice factory. Today the demand is so great that the spring is licensed to supply 45 million litres a year. In 1990 the Windsor family decided to uncap the well and share this quality source of Natural Mineral Water with the rest of the UK.
