Gary Lineker

Former England football captain Gary Lineker has explained why he is backing telematics broker Ingenie in an exclusive interview with Insurance Times.

“As a father of four boys I completely got the concept and wanted to be involved with it when it launched,” he said.

“Making improved driving behaviour a priority was a unique proposition and I wanted to lend my support.”
