UK Commercial Property

Our Commercial Property Insurance team insures physical assets and business interruption and incidental employers' and public liability.

Our strength lies in our ability to work closely with our brokers and clients, using strong interpersonal skills, to create client-focused innovation solutions for risk transfer. Our clients are based in the United Kingdom and Ireland and we insure assets and business interruption risks throughout the European Economic Community, with incidental exposures elsewhere in the world, but excluding the US.

We work alongside brokers and their clients throughout the UK who desire long-lasting and mutually beneficial partnerships, built on a foundation of strong corporate and personal relationships.

Our telephone-based 24/7 claims service is supported by approved contractors with direct billing to us to ensure that routine claims are dealt with quickly and easily.  Loss adjusters can be nominated to handle larger, more complex claims so the framework to manage any size of loss is known and in place, ready to be called upon, right from the outset.

Our products include:

Asset

A property and liability package policy specifically designed for property investors/real estate where the building is occupied by a third party.
