At Simply Business, we help businesses to find the right insurance. But more than that – we celebrate them too.

Rough Around the Hedges is owned by gardener and handyman, Martin Bailey. Based in Elmbridge, Surrey, Martin provides gardening and property maintenance services including minor landscaping, hedge cutting, and painting/decorating.

Curl Up and Dye is a hairdressing salon owned by Jayne in South West London. This long-standing family business is a stalwart of the New Malden community and has been cutting and styling hair from the same salon for decades.
