Target Business

Any business that designs, manufacturers or supplies products to the trade or public.

We provide specialist solutions for:

Precision engineers who have invested in the latest CNC and CAM/CAD technology
the engineering capability of these companies allows them to win contract engineering work from customers outside of their primary sector. For instance, existing suppliers to Motorsport are being actively supported by their trade association to win new customers in the wider Automotive market as well as Aviation, Defence, Life science, Oil & Gas North American and Marine sectors.

University “spin-off” companies
many university spin-offs are offering innovative and technical products to market, which require specialist insurance understanding and solutions.

Companies supplying engineering solutions to the Oil & Gas sector
such companies routinely encounter hold harmless, waiver of subrogation and additional insured requests, often requiring a quick turnaround as they compete to win new tenders.

Companies supplying to the Military or Defence sectors
a lack of “failure to perform” cover can leave companies supplying these sectors seriously exposed.
