For Manufacturing businesses there are a number of key risk exposures that need to be addressed to ensure adequate balance sheet protection. These include:
-
Material damage - making sure that critical machinery is adequately protected and that you can replace and repair quickly and with minimum inconvenience.
-
Profits protection - whether due to a breakdown or a major loss it is vital that your customers continue to be serviced. We can help you design profits protection and review disaster recovery to give you both the systems and the financial support to enable you to cope with almost any disaster.
-
People - your people are often your most important asset. We will help design robust risk management and appropriate insurance. When required, our range of in-house services will help you defend spurious tribunal and Employers Liability claims.
-
Products - while standard liability cover is important we can also advise on more specialist protection to cover a wider range of financial consequences if you encounter supply chain problems or need to recall products.
-
Overseas operations - increasingly, businesses are setting up, buying or undertaking joint ventures with manufacturing capacity around the world. Through our Brokers Link network we can service your insurance requirements globally.
