A Bury broker faces jail after admitting to duping local firms by issuing fake professional indemnity (PI) polices and certificates.
Clive Hesketh, 47, from Tottington, fleeced businesses of more than £90,000 between January 2010 and October 2010.
Hesketh pleaded guilty to 11 counts of false representation when he appeared before Bury magistrates on Monday, August 15.
He opted for Travelers as one of the names to use on the fraudulent documents, although the insurer had nothing at all to do with the broker's trickery.
A Travelers spokesman told Insurance Times that “Travelers has never had a business association with the broker in question."
The Bury broker was arrested over fraud last month, as revealed by Insurance Times, after police received reports of fraudulent activity on June 30.
Hesketh is due to be sentenced at Bolton Crown Court on September 15.
