ExtraCover Insurance.
ExtraCover Insurance, the country’s most widely used dedicated Cricket Club Insurance product, run by Yorkshire based brokers Marshall Wooldridge, has signed an agreement with the Yorkshire Cricket Board to become their preferred insurance partner.
The Yorkshire Cricket Board will use the investment from Marshall Wooldridge to help to fund County Age Group cricket across the county, which will also see the ExtraCover Insurance logo appearing on the shirts worn by players when representing Yorkshire County Age Group teams.
The agreement will support campaigns to ensure cricket clubs affiliated to the Yorkshire Cricket Board, have access to professional advice on cricket club insurance. In addition, the partnership will assist clubs and their members to provide the appropriate information to help them to protect their club, their players, their members and equipment.
Speaking about the agreement Mark Dearden, Sports Development Manager for ExtraCover Insurance said:
“As a Yorkshire based business, we're delighted to be able to support youth cricket in our own County with investment which means the Yorkshire Cricket Board are able to signpost clubs to professional advice on cricket club insurance from the knowledgeable team we have.
Our agreement with County Age Group cricket in Yorkshire is the beginning of what we hope will be a very productive relationship between us and all the cricket clubs linked to them.
We aim to meet, speak and communicate with as many clubs as we can at seminars and events, to get to know them better and to show them that we're on their side when it comes to providing best advice and recommending the correct levels of insurance cover for their clubs.
We look forward to working closely with Andrew and the team at the Yorkshire Cricket Board on this partnership. We feel confident we can provide a service to each and every one of Yorkshire's cricket clubs.”
Commenting on behalf of the Yorkshire Cricket Board, Andrew Watson said:
"The Yorkshire Cricket Board has received excellent service from Marshall Wooldridge over a number of years.
We are delighted to have secured a sponsorship agreement with them as part of our investment into junior cricket within the County.
As an established and reputable company who provide insurance cover tailored to cricket clubs, we welcome the opportunity to work closely with Mark and his team to ensure cricket clubs have the insurance cover applicable to their changing needs."
