Acorn Insurance at Sefton Skills Show

The Liverpool City Region Apprenticeship Hub recently held a ‘Skills Show’ event and Acorn Insurance were delighted to be in attendance as an exhibitor.

The event gave local Sefton-based businesses the chance to reach out to the community and offer School and University leavers the chance to get to know a bit more about their organisation and the opportunities therein.

Acorn Insurance were delighted to meet with members of the community and introduce our company to those who may not be aware of our work, in an engaging & fun environment.

Our giant ‘Connect 4’ game certainly drew a lot of attention and provided us with the chance to talk with young people from the local area about their aspirations.

This also gave us ample opportunity to field questions about the benefits of working for Acorn Insurance. With lots of exciting opportunities becoming available within our company, we welcomed the chance to discuss these with potential future colleagues!

Positive Feedback for Acorn

Reviewing some of the comments we received, we were pleased to get some really positive feedback from the enthusiastic, young visitors we had to the stand. Indeed, all the feedback we received confirmed it had been a useful chance to talk through possible careers in insurance with the members of staff present. The positive feeling was mutual, in that it gave us plenty of opportunity to discuss promising roles in motor insurance, as well as different aspects of our business.

We were also excited to meet with other local businesses and impressed with all who exhibited. The Apprenticeship Hub hosted a wonderful event, and we relished the chance to demonstrate our own fresh approach to Insurance to all those who were kind enough to visit our stand.

Britain’s Cheapest Car

What is Britain’s cheapest car and how much is it?

For nearly the same price as a pair of racing stripes on a Ferrari, or gleaming white paint on a Maserati, the all new Dacia Sandero is ‘Britain’s cheapest car’ and could be all yours for just £6,995. With credentials such as the ‘What Car Car of the Year 2018 – Best Small Car Less Than £12000’, the Dacia is not to be ignored.

Standard Dacia Access Specification:

Hill Start Assist
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
15″ Tarkine wheel rims
Front electric windows

The more expensive model, the Dacia Laureate

The top of the range model of the new Sandero is called the Laureate and is available for £8,795. The Laureate ad is packed full of modern equipment including:

Body coloured bumpers
Manual air conditioning
DAB/FM/AM Radio
15″ Lassen wheel trims
Touchscreen multimedia system (Sat Nav, Traffic Info, smartphone voice recognition)
Rear parking sensors

What makes Dacia different?

Dacia suggested that they always manage to sell such “temptingly” priced cars and still they manage to make a massive profit on them. What is their secret? And how do they make such cost effective cars?

Well according to Dacia they use the simplest ideas to keep the cost down, even down to using the same windows for every single car in their fleet. However, Dacia suggested that even though their prices are effective, they are known around the world for their unique quality and outstanding reliability and ensure their cars are “strong” to cope with adverse weather conditions from Brazil to Russia.

A Dacia spokesman stated “From humble beginnings, the Romanian brand has gone from strength to strength since Renault bought it in 1999 and transformed its fortunes. For the last eight years in a row it has been the fastest-growing automotive brand in Europe, rising from under 5,000 sales in 2004 to shifting a mighty 350,000 last year. And the final piece of the jigsaw is the UK.”
