** COVID-19 UPDATE **
As from Thursday 5th November 2020, we are are operating a strict appointment-only system for visitors to our office. This is because – aligned to the most recent Government guidelines - most of our staff will be working from home; so if a customer were to come without an appointment, there may be no-one here to see to them.
If you wish to make an appointment to come into the office, please call 01904 631622. When you arrive at our office, you will need to adhere to the following protocol;
- on arrival, customers must use the entrance intercom to announce their arrival or call the telephone number displayed on the office door
- a staff member will unlock the door - note, we can only allow one customer in the office at any one time.
- customers will have their temperature checked.
- Illingworths will ask customers to use a supplied hand sanitiser gel.
- customers must stay in a designated "customer zone" (away from office work stations).
- preferred payment methods are debit/credit cards or cheque.
- customers must wear a face mask/ covering. If necessary, these will be supplied on entry and wearing will be compulsory.
We thank you in advance for your co-operation and for helping us to adhere to the Government's guidelines. The safety of our clients and staff is paramount.

At Illingworths, our highest priority has always been to provide our clients with excellent customer service. This has been our philosophy since our office opened in 1973.
WE ARE STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS. However, aligned to Government guidelines - we have taken the decision to ask our customers not to visit the office in person for the foreseeable future.
Due to the unprecedented current social situation, with an increase in self-isolation, we may not be able to operate quite as quickly as normal. We have put in place contingency measures, so that we will be available to speak with you on the telephone or through electronic communication.
You can continue to telephone us on
01904 631 622 for general insurance queries, or
01904 464 800 for financial services
We ask our customers not to visit our office and to arrange insurance payments either by card over the phone or by electronic bank transfer, in order to help prevent further spread of the Coronavirus.
