Showsurance

Showsurance was launched in 1981 and has some of the UK's most prestigious shows as clients. They include Leeds, Welsh Kennel Club, Bournemouth, South Wales, Paignton and Southern Counties among others along with many smaller general societies, breed clubs and training clubs.

It was created in association with Lloyds underwriters by David Paton, then secretary of the Afghan Hound Association and David Cavill, then show manager of Southern Counties so it really understands what canine societies need as far as insurance is concerned.

Showsurance is part of RTC Associates, a partnership that also runs the Animal Care College and Dogs Monthly as well as being a part of the
Our Dogs and Our Cats group. RTC Associates is authorised and regulated
by the Financial Services Authority.
