When the ABI released claims figures in 2016, the results were a surprise to many. 99% of claims paid were out on private motor policies, for example. This shows that money contributed to paying insurance premiums is there for legitimate claimants when they need that support. Insurance matters a great deal to the functioning of a successful, modern business. That is why you need to deal with an insurance broker you can trust. What about breweries? As an industry, brewers have their own unique challenges. What happens if one of your major suppliers goes out of business, for example? Maybe an event that you provide goods to is cancelled, or your goods are damaged on their way there. Could insurance help you out? Insurance is all about covering risk. If your insurance provider does not understand your risks properly, how can they cover you? This is where knowing more about your industry is important – but first and foremost, it’s about knowing more about you and how your business operates. No two businesses are the same, so ensuring that your broker understands exactly what you do, how you do it, and who your customers are is most important. That way, you can get specific advice about which products you might need – covering your premises, public liability and employers’ liability, through to obtaining business interruption cover. As one of the largest independent insurance brokers in the UK, Bollington Insurance has access to a wide range of insurers, helping them to negotiate on pricing while offering the best terms they can to brewers.
