Two senior figures in the Insurance industry have downed pens and are getting behind the wheel of a state of the art Ford Focus WRC in the 2009 Silverstone Tyres BTRDA Rally Championship.

Management of risk is central to the insurance industry and now Chairman and Deputy Chairman of Lloyd & Partners, a subsidiary of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group Plc, John Lloyd and Andrew Barnes, will be applying their skills to the adrenaline fuelled sport of rally driving to ensure every corner is taken with pin point accuracy.

Adrian Cavenagh will be co-driving for John Lloyd and Guy Simmons will be sat alongside Andrew Barnes.

Their Ford Focus WRCs will have a new image for this season as they will be promoting Insurantz.com , specialists in tailored commercial and home business insurance solutions, so whatever business you are in, they can help you find the right insurance policy for your individual business needs Insurantz.com are part of JLT|online, a division of Jardine Lloyd Thompson UK Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group Plc.

The working ANT is the Insurantz.com logo and will be displayed on both Ford Focus cars which will be maintained and run on event by BTR Preparations, a long established and well respected name in the world of motor sport headed up by Tim Ashton whose history dates back to the early days of Dealer Opel Team in the 70’s. BTR’s Technical Manager Gavin Cox will look after the JLT Rally Team on event.

James Pickering, managing director of Insurantz.com, said: “Risk management is a day to day task for insurers and I am sure Andrew and John have calculated their strategy for every single corner. They have been training hard in the new Insurantz.com rally car and I expect to see it taking corners at speeds that would fill hardened petrol heads with fear.”

The team’s first event was at the Wyedean Rally at Chepstow Racecourse and the next will be 25th April at Minehead in Somerset.
