Are you a Cardinal? No? A Carphone Fitter? Didn't think so? Or..... How about a Water Diviner? Nooooo? Well these are some of the jobs that make up the 2,100 professions that are catered for by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). As you can tell, this list is vastly outdated and does not cater for YouTubers, bloggers or social media marketers. However, using the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a'changin' thanks to specialist broker Adrian Flux.
Adrian Flux already has a number of YouTubers on it's books and has brought the list of professions into the 21st century. General manager Gerry Bucke asked, “When was the last time you bumped into an agister or an ostler?”. He makes a fair point, I didn't even know what an ostler was until today. For those not in the know, an ostler is someone who looked after horses that belonged to people staying in an inn. So think of it as babysitting, except for a horse...
I think it's safe to say that the ABI need to update this list as this could mean that customers are potentially not getting the best quote on their insurance. Other professions that Adrian Flux have added onto their list are email marketer, professional gamer, drone operator and app developer. So Adrian Flux are keeping up with the times, why can't the others?
Why the long faces? You can still get an accurate quote on your car insurance....
