What our members say

"I am a BGA Silver member. I had a serious accident at work, and due to a broken pelvis I was unable to work for 6 months! I was so relieved that I had personal accident insurance, as it helped me financially through a difficult time. All grooms employed, or freelancers, really should protect themselves - accidents do happen. Join the BGA today!"
