We have supplied dedicated insurance and risk management solutions to the UK hospitality industry since 1982. We act for hotels, restaurants, private member clubs and serviced apartments and currently have over 1000 establishments on our books. We provide integrated risk management within our services via our in-house risk consultants. They help identify risk and work with you to eliminate, mitigate or manage your risk. Our services reach far beyond traditional insurance services.
Nobody understands hospitality quite like you. That is why we will take the time to get to know you, your people, your business, and the various risks you face. Once we fully understand you, we will tailor a specialist insurance programme that meets your needs.
We will help you get the best value for money from your insurance advising you on effective risk management, which will help you make significant savings on the cost of your premiums. We will help your business stay resilient in the fast-moving, ever-changing hospitality sector.
We are committed to making a difference to the hospitality industry, so as well as helping businesses through our unique insurance and risk management offering, we support the sector and its charities. Team members have taken part in numerous Springboard treks around the world and cycled for Hospitality Action and the Masterinnholders in and outside the UK. We support the Independent Hotel Show as its headline sponsor, are the preferred supplier to POB Hotels and invest in hospitality professionals by arranging networking lunches up and down the country.
