P J Hayman Embraces Change

At the dawn of the millennium, we embraced some technological changes, such as the creation of P J Hayman’s first website. Also, we innovated from phone web to PC systems – called Delta – to capture customer’s requirements and quotes. As we celebrated 10 years in business, we moved to Stansted house.

Our earliest products included Travel Plus and Adventures – both of which are still very much part of our portfolio. Free Spirit was aquired in 2003 and is our largest seller.

Challenges

We’ve been through all sorts of challenges over our 32 years in business – not least of which was 9/11. One of our policies looked after a customer, while stranded in America due to the terrorist attacks. We paid out for his extra six days spent in the USA and he was both grateful and surprised.
