Active Cover<\/a> with childhood neighbour, Graeme Godfrey a former insurance advisor.
\nNow the pair, who used to live a stone\u2019s throw away from each other in Edgware are helping customers who suffer minor and serious sporting injuries.
\nSimon, said: \u201cIt does seem remarkable doesn\u2019t it, but we were friends since primary school when we were just four-years-old.
\n\u201cAlthough we went to different schools we lived about two minutes apart and have always kept in touch. I can\u2019t think of a better person to go into business with.\u201d
\nThe pair have spent two years developing the multi sports insurance concept underwritten by CHUBB European Group Limited, who are a global leader in personal accident insurance.
\nGraeme, 51, who now lives in Bushey, Herts, said: \u201cWe never envisaged that we would end up in business together but you now have two trusted friends on the same team which is an excellent start.
\n\u201cWe saw a gap in the market, so we set up this business in an attempt to change the face of sports insurance in the UK and we have spent two years developing and fine tuning the product.
\n\u201cWe have put everything into this and have always wanted to help people.\u201d
\nPolicies for adults start from \u00a314.16 a month and Active Cover\u2019s aim is to get people back playing sport as soon as possible.
\nActive Cover has been designed to help customers to overcome injuries caused during an organised sporting activity, by providing financial support to aid many elements of their recovery.
\nUnder their diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation sections, Active Cover will reimburse customers for up to 75% of the costs incurred up to the maximum limits of the policy, dependant on which package is chosen.
\nUsers can access private treatment, such as physiotherapy anywhere in the UK without total reliance on the NHS, speeding up the recovery process.
\nIf an injury is serious enough that it prevents someone from going to their gym, Active Cover will reimburse the membership fees.
\nCustomers are covered for most sports including boxing, surfing, tennis and even Judo and Karate, all at one price.
\nTeam sports like football and rugby are covered, as well as organised activities for both adults and children.
