Thank you very much for the brilliant service, professionalism and caring attitude whilst handling my recent claim.

Cause of Death Mesothelioma Cancer
An inquest was told how a Leyland man died of cancer caused by nearly 40 years of breathing in "clouds of asbestos,".
Arthur Horsfield, 78, was regularly exposed to the lethal material at a factory in his hometown between the 1940s and 1980s.
Cancer caused by exposure to asbestos
He was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer, caused by exposure to asbestos, earlier this year and died in September.
His daughter, Susan Lister, 54, said she remembered her father telling her of working closely with asbestos throughout his career.
A verdict of death by industrial disease, caused by exposure to asbestos, was recorded by the assistant deputy coroner.
