The move follows a period of growth over the past number of years that’s seen the company’s business double in size Effective immediately, the new name will appear on all former One Direct services and operations. All customers have been written to informing them of the change and advising them of plans for the newly named insurance provider. Existing policies and claims are not affected by the changeover.

Commenting on these developments, Post Insurance Managing Director David Egan said: “The insurance industry is a very dynamic marketplace. With fast growing annual revenue and employing 150 staff throughout all operations, our business has transformed considerably as an increasing number of new and existing customers sign up for our straightforward, value focused financial services.  The re-branding to Post insurance and the announcement of new products signals our intention to take the business to the next phase of its growth and development.”
