Name Change

What’s Changing?

As part of the creation of this new entity, North will become the parent company of the group and change its registered corporate name to NorthStandard Limited. There will be no change to the underlying insurance business.

Apart from North, all the other businesses within the NorthStandard group will continue to use their existing names and provide their current services.

Here are the full details of the insurance underwriting entities within the combined NorthStandard group from 20th February 2023:

Uninterrupted Cover

The merger of North and The Standard Club will have no impact on any cover already in place.

All existing insurances, certificates, blue cards, guarantees, undertakings, powers of attorney and other insurance or legal documentation bound or issued by insurance underwriting entities in either North or The Standard Club prior to 20th February 2023 will continue uninterrupted in accordance with their terms.

For the avoidance of doubt, the change of name of The North of England Protecting and Indemnity Association Limited will not affect the validity or enforceability of documents issued under that name.

Continuity of Contact

NorthStandard will continue to provide timely guidance, continuous support and efficient claims handling.

If your documentation includes contact information for North, Standard Club, or correspondents or agents authorized by either organization, you can continue to contact them in the usual ways. Any documentation issued after the merger date will include a relevant NorthStandard contact.
