Commercial Insurance
We provide comprehensive commercial insurance solutions tailored to diverse business needs. Our offerings include property protection, public liability, and sector-specific policies for tradesmen, contractors, and motor trade businesses. With access to major insurers and Lloyd's markets, we ensure competitive coverage options that safeguard business assets and operations.
Classic Car Insurance
Specialist insurance for classic and high-value vehicles combines tailored coverage with understanding of collector car needs. Our policies protect against risks while accommodating limited mileage usage and preservation requirements. This niche service benefits from our brokers' expertise in valuing and insuring prestige automotive assets.
Property Owners Insurance
Our property insurance solutions protect residential and commercial property portfolios against risks including damage, liability claims, and loss of income. Designed for landlords and property investors, these policies address unique risks associated with rental properties and multi-unit holdings through comprehensive, customisable coverage.
Public Liability Policies
Essential protection for businesses facing third-party injury or property damage claims. Our public liability insurance covers legal costs and compensation awards, with flexible limits tailored to industry risk profiles. This service supports contractors, tradesmen, and service providers in managing operational risks.
Working From Home Insurance
Tailored insurance for home-based businesses covers equipment, liability risks, and business interruption. Our policies adapt standard home insurance limitations to protect professional assets and activities conducted from residential premises, ensuring adequate coverage for modern remote working arrangements.
