Protection, tailored to your needs. Join 11,500 other UK businesses by switching with GAS.
Insurance is such a successful area for addressing business costs, simply because many UK companies do not benchmark their insurance renewals. Additionally, standard products are rarely a perfect fit for businesses, all of which have different challenges and require bespoke features to cover operations.
In a market rife with jargon and legal speak, contact us today to see how refreshingly different our approach to insurance really is.
Whether you're after a business-specific service or require a full audit of your current insurance setup, our team of experts will establish a full understanding of what your business needs.
Using our unrivalled buying power, we’ll scour the market, approaching our FCA accredited suppliers and present you with the most appropriate solution tailor-made for your business.
Once you’ve decided which policy is most appropriate for your oganisation, we’ll process the paperwork and let you get back to doing what you do best; running your business.
GAS is an Introducer Appointed Representative (IAR) for some of the business insurance sector’s most respected brands, whose provisions include:
Cover legal costs if the public or customers claim they have experienced personal injury or damage to their property as a result of your work.
Fleet insurance provides cover across a fleet of business vehicles, allowing you to insure all vehicles under one single cost-effective policy.
Protection against loss or damage claims made by customers or third parties resulting from negligent services or advice you provided.
We work alongside businesses with riskier working environments, who require more complex insurance policies than most firms.
Access leading cyber experts to establish the appropriate level of cover for your organisation's mission critical data, systems and devices.
Property insurance provides financial reimbursement to the owner or renter of a structure and its contents in case there is damage or theft.
Our providers have access to multiple markets covering all aspects of commercial, fleet, liability, and contents insurance. They offer a full review of your existing policy to ensure the correct level of cover and will seek to find the best possible quotes for your business.
Most insurers will provide a renewal quote around 30 days before your renewal is due – this is the best time to review. For larger or more complex policies, we recommend 6-8 weeks in advance of renewal to allow us to source a full range of quotes.

Paul Johnson is very much a home-grown talent.
He joined Great Annual Savings Group in its infancy, fresh from a youth career as a professional footballer with Hartlepool United. He quickly established a reputation within the business and aced all required accountancy qualifications in the space of four years to become the Group’s Management Accountant.
Several successful projects later, Paul was promoted to Head of Finance. When the former FD left GAS, he took on the mantle of the business’ most senior finance professional; boasting a string of incredible achievements all under the age of 30.
Quote:
“I have witnessed phenomenal growth at the Group over the many years I’ve worked here and I’m looking forward to guiding the Group into an exciting new chapter.”
Interesting fact:
Paul made his professional debut for Hartlepool United against Bournemouth in the Football League. Some say Danny Ings still resides in his pocket to this day.

A graduate of Sunderland University in 2011 in Sports Journalism, Adam spent the first few months of his career working as a Journalist before deciding he would enjoy applying his skills on the other side of the fence.
Adam says
"Journalism just wasn’t for me. Like all students when they graduate, I felt obliged to pursue a career in my chosen area of study, before quickly realising I had a diverse skill set that was better suited to the Communications and PR side of things. I gained a wide range of knowledge of writing and the media through my time at University and in the industry, so it was a smooth transition.
In December 2015, Adam leapt at the opportunity to join Great Annual Savings, tasked with the responsibility of setting up and establishing the Marketing Department. In his short time with the company, he has expanded the team to seven members, with additional scope to grow further. He has also implemented a successful PR strategy which has seen the company develop its brand reputation in a very competitive market.
Judith was part of the team who initially set up Great Annual Savings in 2012, she brings with her an abundance of senior management experience, managing the HR/Resourcing functions in numerous fast growing FTSE250 companies including De La Rue International PLC, Blacks Leisure Group PLC and most recently G4S PLC. Judith has played a pivotal role in helping move the business forward with our ambitious growth plans and her impact has seen our head count grow significantly year on year with significant plans in place to manage and lead the continued growth going forward.
Judith says:
"Businesses who are pro-active continually look at managing their costs effectively, those who wait until a recession hits, are reactive and often too late. We want companies to be pro-active and take the pain away by saving costs now, letting GAS do the fully managed cost solution just makes good business sense for any company, whatever the size or industry. Our business ethos is something I truly believe in and want every company to benefit from our help and support, working collaboratively together is a great way to build long term relationships.”

Outside of work, Judith is a member of the Employer Committee for the East Durham area, which helps businesses network with one another in the Durham region as well as helps to attract people & companies to this area. When she’s not networking across the North East you’ll find her doing some form of health & fitness and be having a coffee somewhere with someone!
Having founded GAS in 2012, Brad has overseen the company’s huge growth in a short space of time. Starting from modest surroundings in South Shields, rapid progress has seen the business move to its current office in Seaham, which is being expanded across the business park to create an 80,000 square foot GAS campus, featuring one of the finest headquarters buildings outside of London and Manchester.
The majority of Brad’s career has been spent on the boards of FTSE companies, at board level in the private sector and in turnaround private equity. He was Group MD of Caudwell Group and worked on its sale in 2006 for £1.5 billion.
Brad says:
"Certain businesses we’ve worked with have made six-figure savings over their contract terms. We cover the widest range of business variable costs in the market in one place. When we get involved with a company, it allows them to focus on their core business. The extra time we allow them to spend on their strategies can often prove as valuable as the cash we save them."
