Afternoon All,

This is just a very quick note to advise that I have just been speaking to a company called Global-i (http://www.global-i.co.uk) and they have confirmed verbally that they have bought the Hardware and Monitoring rights to the old Telematics eGuard unitis/customers.

Whilst information is still fairly vague, they have also confirmed that they are writing to all existing customers (either today or Monday) offering to reactivate the Telematics units.

This will involve an engineer installing a new SIM card to the Telematics unit in each vehicle, and a new service contract (for the monitoring) being taken out with themselves.

They have not at this point advised me what the monthly, annual subscription will be, however I am of the impression that it will be similar to the Telematics rate.

I think everyone with a Telematics Unit installed to their vehicle will agree that this is a relief.

As far as all our customers are concerned I am speaking to Norwich Union and Groupama to confirm an extension of Theft cover pending this new update.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

All the best
