Frizzels were a separate family owned insurance that provided policies to CSMA members as well as the public. I used Frizzels for years We have home and car policies with LV who took over from Frizzels. We even use them for travel insurance when not taking the caravan. The nice thing is that they don’t inflate renewals and deal with claims extremely well.
Yes, Frizzell’s was more of a partnership. Seems they wrote bespoke policies for CSMA. Members. I can remember when LV did the take over. CSMA negotiated a similar deal. That was 24 years ago!
I also use LV for home, Frizzell previously, and have so long as I can remember. And I used to use them for the car. But I am afraid that about 5 years ago they did massively inflate my premium. With seemingly no reason. So not with them now. But never say never. I can save a few quid on the house insurance, but, as you correctly say, they are very good to deal with in case of a claim.
They do say that the Boundless discount is their highest, but I have never put this to the test. Discounts are offered for many organisations.

Creating the perfect partnership
Where does LV= figure in all this? In 1996, LV= acquired the Frizzell Group, in order to continue the momentum of its success. It was a good fit, with the philosophies of the companies blending perfectly. LV= was established in 1843 as a mutual association to help families protect and provide for their dependants and cherished possessions. Today LV= is one of the UK’s largest insurance companies, offering a range of
Defaqto 5-star rated products, including car and home insurance. They’re proud to be the UK’s most recommended insurer, according to YouGov. It places its customers at the heart of everything it does and, like Frizzell, it exists to help people protect the things they love.
Boundless and LV= is a partnership that has stood the test of time, with both parties continuing to share similar values – which means that Boundless members continue to enjoy discounted rates through this trusted provider.
