WORCESTER brokerage business Bennetts is changing its trading name to Equity Insurance Brokers.

All existing employees will continue working at the company's Navigation Road office and insurance cover for both its personal and commercial customers remains unaffected by the change.

Branch manager Shelley Reader said: "There will be a number of clear benefits for our existing and potential clients. The Equity brand allows us the opportunity to offer a wider range of insurance products at competitive rates."

The Worcester brokerage is part of Equity Insurance Group. Its national network comprises almost 70 branches, four regional offices and two UK-based customer contact centres.
