Hastings Direct and Autoglass® BodyRepair Partner to Boost Road Safety

Hastings Direct, a leading insurance provider, has signed a three-year partnership with Autoglass® BodyRepair, aiming to make UK roads safer by promoting responsible driving behavior and reducing road death and injury. The partnership, which was awarded to Autoglass® BodyRepair due to a key factor that wasn't specified in the provided text, will see Autoglass® offering its mobile body repair service to Hastings customers across the UK[1].

Toby van der Meer, CEO at Hastings Direct, expressed his pride in the partnership, stating, "We are delighted to partner with Brake, a road safety charity that shares our passion for safer driving habits and our commitment to end road death and injury"[4]. Ross Moorlock, CEO at Brake, echoed this sentiment, saying, "I am delighted to welcome Hastings Direct as an Associate Partner. Together, we can make a real difference in promoting safe and healthy journeys for all road users"[3].

As an Associate Partner, Hastings Direct will support various Brake initiatives throughout the year, including fundraising activities and community engagement[1]. Staff members at Hastings Direct have already participated in several fundraising activities for Brake, demonstrating their commitment to the cause[2]. The partnership will also involve using telematics and data-driven insights from Hastings Direct to encourage safer driving behaviors[1].

Hastings Direct is particularly focused on addressing key risk areas among young drivers, an emphasis of Brake's campaign initiatives this year[6]. By combining their efforts, the partnership aims to enhance public awareness and education about safe driving practices, especially targeting young drivers who statistically represent a higher risk group[5].

In addition to the partnership with Brake, Hastings Direct has also partnered with Verisk for enhancing its household underwriting service capabilities through Verisk’s UKBuildings product[7]. The partnership with BLM has been re-appointed to handle large & complex loss claims in the UK and Ireland[8].

This collaboration between Hastings Direct and Autoglass® BodyRepair represents a significant step towards achieving safer UK roads and lower road casualties. By combining their respective expertise in insurance, telematics, and road safety campaigning, they hope to strengthen community involvement and advocacy for safer roads in the UK[1][3][5].
