Specialist marine insurance company opens new UK office
Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist has opened a new office at Parkstone Bay Marina, Poole, providing easy access to the local boating community on the south coast of the UK.
Part of the Haven Knox-Johnston family, and a Howden Group company, Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist provides bespoke insurance solutions for all boat owners, from high-performance motorboats, RIBS and jet skis to globetrotting bluewater cruising yachts.
The strategic decision to open an office in one of Poole Harbour’s key marinas enables the Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist team to work closely with local marinas, yacht clubs and marine service providers by providing their clients with a hands-on, face-to-face service in a relaxed and convenient setting.
Steve Hook, marine divisional director for the Howden Group, says: “At Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist, we believe that the best way to serve boat owners is by being where they are. Opening our new office at Parkstone Bay Marina allows us to connect with our customers on a deeper level, offering a truly personalised service. Whether it’s insuring a jet ski, a world-cruising yacht or a weekend powerboat, we want to make sure they get insurance that fits their needs.”
Yvonne Hall, marine account manager and office manager at Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist, adds: “As a keen sailor myself, I understand that no two boaters are the same – and their insurance shouldn’t be either. We’re excited to bring our expertise closer to the people we serve, making it easier for boaters to get the right coverage without the hassle. Parkstone Bay Marina is a fantastic hub for the boating community, and we’re thrilled to be part of it.”
Boat owners are encouraged to visit the new office at Parkstone Bay Marina to meet the team. Drop in, call ahead for an appointment on 01202 725165, or visit the Haven Knox-Johnston Specialist website for more information.
