Company Car Insurance

Seems a daft question but i just wanted to check.
My other half has been on my insurance for the last 6 years, as it has been cheaper to do this, and we have only one car.
He has now started a new job and was given a Company car. He therefore doesn't need to use my car at all anymore. I have already reduced my insurance as the mileage used is now lower but do I need to take him off my insurance too? or is that now covering his company car and I need to tell my
insurance company?

    If he's never going to drive your car again, take him off of it.

    His company will be insuring him to drive their vehicle.

    Check first before you take him off as some insurers offer and insured and spouse (partner) discount so you may be having a discount for having him on there.

    Also it may be worth keeping him on in case he may need to drive your car at short notice.
