Insurer offers free security marking kits to all customers

Bike insurer Carole Nash is to offer free security marking kits with all policies.

Every new or renewed policy supplied since March 1 comes with a kit to discreetly mark various motorcycle parts.

The marks help police fight theft by making it possible to identify individual components as stolen.

It follows a trial of the scheme by Carole Nash last year and an MCN campaign calling on insurers to introduce the measure.

Carole Nash’s marketing director Nick Baker said: “The pilot scheme went extremely well and subsequent research has shown that customers are more than willing to take a few easy steps to protect their pride and joy from potential thieves.”
