Tesco Compare adds more well-known car and home insurance providers to its portfolio!
For car insurance, Tesco Compare welcomes Bell, elephant.co.uk and Lloyds, together with Halifax and swiftcover, while the home insurance portfolio now includes RAC in its list of providers.
Vikki Macleod, Commercial Director, said: “We’re delighted to have added six new providers which are well-known in the car and home insurance industry. Our new portfolio means we can offer customers more choice when they are comparing quotes.”
Tesco Compare believes the new providers will complement its existing car and home portfolio which already includes big industry names that provide a wide range of insurance options.
Compare by price and features…
As with the existing providers, customers can also compare car and home insurance quotes by features and benefits according to what is important to them, and not just on price.
There is more to Tesco Compare than meets the eye: It can introduce consumers to comparison services for products within Money and Utilities, and a greater range of insurance products. It also provides links to pet and breakdown insurance providers and, more recently, the ability to compare health insurance and telecoms.
Vikki Macleod added: “We look forward to working with the new providers and establishing a successful working relationship with them. By offering new providers to customers we can deliver more choice which, ultimately, we hope can save them money.”

npower launches insulation scheme to get homes warm this winter
npower has launched a scheme to help homeowners warm up their home and reduce energy wastage. Savvy DIY experts can now buy loft insulation for £1 a roll from npower's partner Build Center, meaning the average three bedroom semi-detached home can be insulated for less than £20. £19, to be exact.
The scheme, open to everyone regardless of whether they are an npower energy customer or not, also offers free delivery to help ease the process. Furthermore, npower has also developed a video to help novices complete the DIY loft insulation job step by step.
The scheme forms part of npower's Government obligations to help homeowners cut the amount of energy that's wasted in the UK each year. The Energy Saving Trust anticipates that homes could save as much as £175 a year on their heating bills and around 720 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year, just by installing the recommended 270mm depth of loft insulation. (EDITOR: And all for an outlay of under 20 quid!)
Bob Jackson, energy efficiency and policy manager for the energy supplier, commented on the scheme: "As an energy company, npower takes its commitment to the environment and to consumers extremely seriously. Rising wholesale fuel costs mean that many people find themselves struggling to pay their utility bills. The £1 a roll offer will help more people to make massive reductions, and savings in their bills and benefits from a warmer home during the long, cold winter months.
"We also know that not everyone is able to install their own loft insulation. That's why we also offer professional loft insulation meaning teveryone can benefit from the heat savings."
For more information and to buy insulation at £1 a roll while stocks last, householders can visit www.npower.com/diyinsulation call 0845 270 8250 or pop in to their local Build Centre.

Off with a bang
A new furniture showroom from online retailer Address72 made an explosive start on Bonfire Night (November 5) as customers flocked to see the latest range of fitted furniture, French furniture and bedroom furniture; and enjoy the furniture sale.
The showroom, on Hockliffe Street in Leighton Buzzard, displays the ranges that are available through the Address72.com website as well as many accessories that are not listed online. It was unveiled by the Mayor of Leighton Buzzard, Gordon Perham, and has already attracted hundreds of customers keen to see if the incredible luxury and glamour they have witnessed at the website is matched by the comfort that can only be confirmed with a ‘hands-on’ (and ‘bums on seats’) approach.
Reassuring customers of the quality and comfort of its furniture is one of the key reasons why Address72 managing director Paul Johnson was determined to complement the website with a showroom.
“Although we are primarily an online furniture retailer we feel it is important that we provide a place for our customers to come and see our products before making a purchase,” he said.
“Our aim is to increase our customers’ confidence in us as an ethical, family business which provides a personal service. We are all very excited about the future of our brand.”
The Address72 showroom displays the latest in fitted furniture and French furniture; as well as bedroom furniture and ranges for other rooms including: dining rooms, living rooms, studies and hallways. It features all the latest products, including: the new Windsor range, hand-crafted from the highest grade solid Mahogany; the Three Acre Oak Range, a modern and classy design sourced from the highest quality oak; and the new Wiemann fitted wardrobes, which feature sliding doors.
In addition, the furniture sale, which is currently available online at Address72.com, has been taken to the showroom too. It includes huge reductions in the cost of Boston range furniture, incorporating drawers, dressing tables, bookcases and bedsteads; as well as more than £100 off selected products in the Santiago range, such as a dining set with a table and six chairs.
Customers interested in any of these products can visit the Address72.com website or head to the new Leighton Buzzard showroom, which is open from 9.30am – 5.30pm Monday-Friday and from 10am – 5.30pm on Saturdays.

Gear Up For Winter With Flood Awareness Programme
As the colder weather looms, The National Flood School is reminding householders to check out their free online information, designed to help limit damage to their property in the event of a flood or leak.
The National Flood School offers a step-by-step video guide to help people through some simple processes that can be introduced if a flood occurs, to help get clean-up works on the right track and life back to normal as quickly as possible.
The video at http://www.youtube.com/nationalfloodschool is also supported by a free online guide available at http://www.nationalfloodschool.co.uk/downloads/NFS_SOS_Guide...
Chris Netherton, managing director of the Surrey-based National Flood School, said: “Domestic flood incidents always increase in line with a drop in temperature.
“However, last winter was extraordinary and we reported a huge surge in the number of claims to UK properties, brought on by the extreme weather.
“The number of reports of damage caused by burst pipes increased ten-fold compared to the same period the previous year.
“We understand a flood in a home is devastating, and as a result produced this guide to help householders limit the damage where possible.”
Founded in 1988, the National Flood School is recognised across the UK and Europe as a leader in the research, development, testing and education of a wide-range of techniques and systems to enhance the restoration of property damaged by flood.
It shares its expertise to support and train restoration professionals and provides information and professional guidance for many other associated industries, including insurers and loss adjusters.
To support its work, the National Flood School has built and uses The Flood House – located at its headquarters in Farnham, Surrey.
Believed to be the only purpose-built floodable house in Europe, the structure - comprising of eight rooms and 60 common household materials - is regularly flooded with 1500 gallons of water.

Vi-Spring’s Wonderful Wool Bed on Parade at The Lord Mayor’s show
Britain's luxury bed-maker, Vi-Spring, is supporting the Campaign for Wool at the 2011 Lord Mayor’s Show on Saturday 12th November. Joining the procession alongside Worshipful Woolmen, Vi-Spring will be parading through London with its new, sumptuously soft, all-wool bed, The Shetland.
The Campaign’s Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales, convened the initiative to rejuvenate the image of real wool in January 2010, after seeing that its natural, sustainable origin and highly technical structure can offer interiors and fashion many superior benefits.
Naturally luxurious, wool is uniquely suited to bed making thanks to a combination of softness, warmth and resilience. Vi-Spring is the only bed maker in the world to use Real Shetland Wool. It’s master-craftsmen hand-fill each and every bed with more British fleece wool than any other bed maker. This is part of Vi-Spring’s support for Campaign for Wool and commitment to using one of Britain’s finest resources to increase demand for wool and preserve this precious industry.
The Procession will be lead by the 684th Lord Mayor of the City of London, Alderman David Wootton.
The Procession starts at London’s Guildhall at 11.00am on November 12th. It travels down to Mansion House then crosses the City via Bank and St Pauls to deliver the new Lord Mayor to the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand at about 12.40. While the Lord Mayor pledges loyalty in the ancient ceremony, the procession re-forms for the return leg, which sets off down the Embankment at 1pm and finishes back at Mansion House around 2.30.
FACTFILE:
Vi-Spring believes that sleeping on the right bed can be a truly life-changing experience. All Vi-Spring mattresses are handmade to order in the company’s workshops in Devon. It’s an uncompromising approach, but because sleep is such a deeply personal part of life, it’s really the only way to ensure that every bed is not only supremely comfortable, but also fits its owner like a glove.
Founded in 1901, Vi-Spring was the first bed maker to produce an interior sprung mattress using a system of individually pocketed springs that changed the way beds were made.
Vi-Spring has never wavered from its original philosophy of using the best craftsmanship and quality materials to produce the finest beds in the world, and this is why Vi-Spring beds have been the only choice for anyone who demands the best for over one hundred years.
