On Saturday the 30th June a band of Fairweather staff lived up to their name and brought sunshine to proceedings at the Feast of St Peter - Chalfont St Peter's annual summer festival. There was live music, community stalls, local businesses, displays, sports, kids events and everything in between. We were very pleased to see
I was thrilled to welcome guest speakers from Urban Media www.urbanmedia.co.uk and Zebedee internet www.zebedeeim.co.uk yesterday to speak to local businesses and some of our commercial clients about the importance of web presence online. I am not the expert - you need to speak to them about that but there were some key lessons which I would share with
The history of the feast day extends back to 1229 when King Henry III granted a right to the Lord of the Manor to hold an annual fair on the day and eve of the Feast of St. Peter. Today's event is a far cry from those medieval times. However, since moving the Feast

Last (chilly) Sunday a stalwart team of runners and 'helpers' attended the bi-annual Gerrards Cross Fun Run. The run is organised for local charity and it's for that reason that Fairweather Insurance were pleased to be he principal -shirt sponsor this year.

A recent study by Insurance Times magazine has revealed that there has been a phenomenal increase in claims for water damage to telephones and similar devices.

Our Aviva insurance circular didn't disappoint this week with its 'funny claim' although I would go so far as to say that it is mildly tragic as opposed to amusing. A more mature gentleman was on holiday in Florida and was taking a dip when his wife (who had fallen asleep on he beach) had
As we pass the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic, the original insurance slip for RMS Carpathia has been presented to Lloyds of London by national brokers, Marsh. This slip dates back to the 1900's and shows just how important insurance cover was then as it is now (although I am sure premiums have
