After an extremely successful initial year, Somerset County Cricket Club is delighted to have agreed a new and improved partnership with chartered insurance broker Higos Insurance Services Ltd.
Higos became an official partner of the club in 2022 and, after experiencing the tremendous benefits of aligning their brand with SCCC, 2023 will see them increase their involvement.
In addition to being one of the club’s highly valued principal partners, Higos will now have their branding highly visible on the front of Somerset’s One-Day Cup shirts for the next two seasons. The company is also making a donation to the Somerset Cricket Foundation (SCF).
The broker will also sponsor The Higos 100 Women’s Tournament launching this Summer. The tournament reflects the growing interest in women’s and girl’s cricket and is open to all players in Somerset and is an opportunity to play with and against other cricketers from different clubs across the county.
Higos, a chartered insurance broker, will also continue to carry out activations and giveaways on matchdays at the Cooper Associates County Ground. It will also continue to maintain its position as SCCC’s preferred insurance partner for business, commercial, travel, car, home and property insurance.
Award-winning commercial and personal insurance specialists, Higos has 14 branches based across the whole of the South West from Bath to Bude, Penzance to Southampton, including a head office in Somerton.
Originally founded in Somerset in 1990, Higos is part of the Global Risk Partners (GRP) family, one of the largest independent insurance intermediaries in the UK. As a chartered insurance broker, Higos is rated five stars on Feefo and Trust Pilot by offering insurance advice from their specialist friendly and expert advisors.
SCCC Commercial Director, Caroline Herbert, said: “We are delighted that Higos has chosen to increase its participation with us by coming on board as one of our principal partners. It was an absolute pleasure working with the team in 2022 and they significantly enhanced the matchday experience.
“The company has also committed to continue its support of the Somerset Cricket Foundation by making a donation for every insurance policy taken out by our members and broader fanbase. This further demonstrates their commitment to helping to grow grass roots cricket and improving the lives of people across the region.
“We look forward to this partnership growing even stronger over the next 12 months and beyond.”
Higos Managing Director, Matthew Hartigan, said: “We are thrilled to continue with the Somerset County Cricket Club partnership again this season.
“Somerset is our heartland and the 230-plus Higos staff will continue to be rooted here. SCCC will continue to allow us to promote our brand in front of a much bigger audience and help Higos engage with the communities around us.”
