Commercial Insurance in Crawley
Crawley's position next to Gatwick Airport has shaped it into one of Sussex's most commercially diverse towns. From logistics and aviation services around Gatwick to the Manor Royal Business District — one of the South East's largest industrial estates — Crawley businesses operate at a scale and pace that demands properly structured insurance, not afterthought policies. We're independent brokers based in Brighton, working with Crawley businesses on tailored protection that reflects how you actually trade.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you cover businesses on Manor Royal in Crawley?
- Yes. We work with businesses across Manor Royal Business District, from logistics operators and contract manufacturers to tech firms, pharmaceutical companies and professional services. Our experience across multiple sectors means we understand the shared-access, contractor and supply-chain risks that come with operating on the estate.
- What insurance do Crawley logistics firms need?
- Logistics businesses typically need goods in transit, fleet motor insurance, warehouse and premises protection, warehouse-keepers liability, public and employers' liability, and often contractual liability extensions. We structure policies to meet the contractual insurance requirements set by Gatwick, national retailers and 3PL clients.
- Can you arrange insurance for airport-related businesses at Gatwick?
- Yes. We have access to specialist insurers who understand aviation-adjacent risks, including ground handling, airport retail concessions, airline maintenance providers, freight handlers and Gatwick-based service businesses. These are markets that standard commercial brokers rarely access.
- Is business insurance more expensive in Crawley than Brighton?
- Not necessarily. Premiums depend on your business type, turnover, claims history and specific risks — not just location. Crawley's lower flood risk compared to coastal Sussex can actually work in your favour for property insurance, while fleet and motor premiums may reflect higher mileage if you run regional or national routes.
- How do you support Crawley businesses with claims?
- You deal directly with us, not a call centre. When you need to claim, we coordinate with insurers, help present the claim properly, push back on questionable decisions and keep you updated. Manor Royal and Gatwick-based clients regularly tell us this is the biggest practical difference from going direct or using an online broker.
- Do you arrange professional indemnity for Crawley consultants and tech firms?
- Yes. We arrange professional indemnity for consultants, IT firms, software developers, accountants and other professional services across Crawley and the M23 corridor. We'll match limits and extensions to the contracts you're actually signing rather than a generic baseline.
