Frequently asked questions
- How should UK manufacturers choose a commercial insurance broker for liability insurance?
- Ask how the broker assesses products liability, export territories, product recall exposure and employers' liability for your workforce. A good broker should review your supply contracts and quality processes before presenting your risk to insurers. Our team can discuss your requirements; options depend on your products, markets and insurer appetite.
- What insurance do manufacturers need in Brighton?
- Manufacturers typically need product liability, public liability, employers' liability, property and machinery breakdown insurance. Food manufacturers also need contamination and recall cover.
- Does product liability insurance cover product recalls?
- Product recall is usually a separate extension to product liability insurance. We can arrange policies that include recall costs, which is essential for food and consumer goods manufacturers.
- Is machinery breakdown covered by standard business insurance?
- No. Standard property policies often exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown. A specific engineering insurance or machinery breakdown policy is needed to cover repair or replacement costs.
