Thanks for getting in touch.

We understand that there are strongly held views on both sides when it comes to this topic.

With that in mind, we’ve decided to pause our ad slots pending a review.

Bosch works with its selected media agencies on a global scale to ensure advertising isn’t shown on political channels. We have recently been made aware of an isolated example where our adverts appeared on such channels and we are dealing with this accordingly. Thank you.

Many of you have reached out about our ads showing up on GB News. We had no knowledge and would never have approved it. We work hard to create a positive & safe environment for our advertisers and want the same for our own ads. Without question we’ve suspended our ads from there.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate there are strong views on this topic. With GB News being new, we feel it’s important to take the time to fully understand the channel, so for now we’re pausing the placement of our car and home insurance adverts.

Thanks for getting in touch with us, Kate. We have a media partnership which places our adverts across a number of channels and programmes on the network. We hadn’t specifically targeted this channel, but our teams are looking into this today. ^Dave
