Who are igo4?
igo4 limited was founded in November 2007, by Tom Cooper and Matt Munro, who collectively have over 40 years' experience in the personal insurance market.
The company's consumer brands are igo4value, igo4insurance and igo4more. This is an innovative new approach to motor and home insurance, that embraces the consumer switch to price comparison and reflects the broadening and increasingly sophisticated profile of customers that choose to use aggregators. Through its Choices product range, igo4 recognises that everyone is looking for something different and allows customers to select the cover level and price that is right for them in a clear, easy to use and transparent way.
Customers will find the brands on all major sites, including Confused, Moneysupermarket and GoCompare; in addition to a number of the other emerging players. They can also come direct to www.igo4.com. Whilst over 80% of igo4 customers complete their purchase online, the excellent online customer experience is backed by UK call centre support.
The company is based in Peterborough, and is an introducer appointed representative of BDML Connect Ltd who are themselves part of the Capita Group, and are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
