Insurance is one of those ubiquitous items that every organisation in the construction industry has and which every client is ultimately funding. There are only two mandatory covers that are required by law. The first is employee cover, to ensure that members of staff are insured should they have an accident or fall ill as a result of their work and vehicle insurance, in case vehicles driven by employees have an accident. All other insurances are either driven by contract, or are deemed as an appropriate way to manage commercial risks.
Richard Brannigan and Robin Smith, Managing Director and Account Director respectively, of The Bletchley Group talk about how construction insurances work and why they play such an important role within our industry. The Bletchley Group, an insurance broker, advise members of the National Federation of Builders on construction insurances, acting for many in procuring their cover from year to year. They talk about the cover available and the need for professional advice in procuring adequate and effective cover.
Listen to this podcast to learn how to procure a broker and how to use insurance to effectively manage corporate risk. Disasters will always happen and when they do, it is important to have the right cover that will respond to your claim.
