Bespoke Family on why we should all put a little extra thought
into educating ourselves on protecting what matters most,

those who matter the most?
Bespoke Family is a Teesside-based
insurance firm that specialises in family
protection, whilst endeavouring to create
awareness of the importance of what
insurance can do for you and your family.
Karla Edwards, brand leader at Bespoke
Family, says: “It’s very easy at this time of
year to get carried away with Christmas
plans and to totally forget what’s really
important.
“As a mum, I’ve chosen to specialise in a
market that no one really touches on and
which is certainly not publicised enough –
insurance for your children.
“Through my own experiences, I’ve come
to find that not many financial advisors fully
educate their clients on the product they
recommend and how it also usually covers
your children for free.
“At Bespoke Family, it’s my passion to
spread the word that there are insurance
benefits for any eventuality. In fact, mums-
to-be can be covered during their pregnancy.
Depending on the provider, cover starts at as
early as 24 weeks gestation.”
Karla is determined to spread this
awareness and has been educating parents
in local schools, retailers and at community
events. It has come as no surprise to her
that most couples could not afford to
maintain their current lifestyle and financial
responsibilities, should the worst happen.
“People are surprised when I inform
them that most critical illnesses are paid
upon diagnosis, meaning the family can
concentrate on recovery, rather than
financial stresses.
“When I first took out my mortgage, I was
given some information on life insurance by
my mortgage broker. But it was not until I
began my role at Bespoke that I discovered
my policy was actually not suitable. If I’d
been made aware of the add-on benefits,
then me, my partner and my children would
all be fully insured under one complete
policy.”
It is obvious when speaking to Karla
that her own family is where her drive and
passion stems. With this, she is offering a
free financial review to all, whether or not
you have insurance policies already in place.
Karla will complete a comprehensive review
and inform you on what you do have and
what you could have.
Bespoke Family offers tailor-made policies
to suit all different types of personal needs
and circumstances. For example, one of their
leading providers gives the optional benefit
of Global Treatment. This means those
diagnosed with a particular critical illness
would be treated by the world’s specialist for
that condition, while giving you up to £1m
of medical treatment, including travel and
expenses.
Karla explains: “Many people are under
the impression that this sort of thorough
cover comes at a high price, but every policy
I offer is bespoke to the individual. I would
much rather someone take out a policy they
can afford rather than struggling and not
continuing with it.”
The Bespoke Family ethos is to ensure that
the clients are the priority. When you need to

speak to someone, you don’t get a call centre
- you get a personal service, either over the
phone or face to face, whichever suits you.
Every step of the way, they are with you, so
if you are ever unfortunate enough to need
to make a claim they will assist in every way
possible.
“The most important thing to me is that
people understand insurance as I know
it can be a minefield,” she adds. “I’m here
to explain, educate and give free, friendly
advice and to ensure that families are
protected.”
