BSB rider Jack Kennedy (WD-40 Kawasaki) officially opened Principal Insurance’s new Santry, Dublin, Ireland, headquarters in July. “A more competitive market just has to be good news for Irish riders,” he said.
Reputedly the UK’s fast growing insurance broker, Principal was launched in 2011 by Dave Bowcock who reports £3.3m in annual premium income for the year ending 31 october 2014. Most of the income is from bikes, he says. Principal also serves the van, trade and classic and modified car markets.
Among those welcoming a new insurance player in Ireland were members of the Motorcyclists Action Group Ireland.Â
