5. ANNUAL BUSINESS TRAVEL AND REPATRIATION
Business travel insurance is an essential requirement for many businesses as directors and staff are
dispatched to national and international destinations for business meetings, contracts, conferences, and
training. Damage or loss of important business equipment or personal items all create unforeseen costs for a
business and delayed departure or cancelled travel plans interrupt potential profits. Medical expenses for
staff travelling outside of the United Kingdom is crucial in these post Brexit times.

8. EXCESS OF LOSS
Contractors, manufacturers and distributors will often face a requirement of carrying a larger limit of
indemnity for many of their customers. Excess liability protects clients from major incidents that could
exhaust their primary insurance protection. We cover Employers’, Public/Products and Motor Third Party
Property Damage Liability. In addition we include crisis management cover for up to £100,000 and Medical
and Vocational rehabilitation.

If clients do experience a claim under their excess liability policy, then it could well be for a large scale
incident with severe consequences for many people and organisations, for example a severe accident or a
product liability crisis.

The product is aimed at UK based companies including those with overseas sales or operations, and
multinational organisations. For companies with North American turnover the indemnity will be inclusive of
costs and subject to a full pollution exclusion. In many cases Excess Elite can also be tailored to cover
overseas subsidiaries, however it is not available for companies with no UK connection.

Excess Employers’ Liability


Excess Public Liability
Excess Products Liability
Excess Commercial Motor (third party property damage)

Limits can be selected from £1m up to £70m and attachment points can be adjusted to the clients'
requirements. Minimum premiums start from £375 and cover is available for short period contracts starting
at one day.

9. PER CAPITA LIABILITY
With nearly 300 trades to choose from, ranging from tree fellers to translators our per capita appetite is
huge. This product has recently been refreshed and comes with the option to include professional indemnity
insurance and highly competitive rates, ideal for the small firm with big responsibilities.

Limits of indemnity up to £10 million are available (trade dependent) for public and products liability,
dispensing with the need for excess of loss covers which can often cost more than the underlying policy.

We train our underwriters by starting with this policy, teaching how the wordings operate and the
importance of rating adequacy; one claim can wipe out the fund quite easily. It is always very encouraging
when we see our brokers engaging with our apprentices, trainee underwriters as they grow into fully fledged
underwriters of this product.

Employers liability
Public liability
Products liability
Contract works
Contractors owned plant
Contractors hired in plant
Professional indemnity
Legal expenses

SYNERGY 360 CLUB
Our Synergy relationship is a commitment opportunity for independent UKNI insurance brokers. As a Lloyd’s
of London Coverholder and through our London Market relationships we are able to place risks falling
outwith the appetite detailed in this guide.

SYNERGY PROPERTY
The reduction in capacity for certain business lines has meant that placing higher hazard property risks has
become difficult and customers are facing substantial increases in rates or struggling to find cover. If you are
supporting Synergy we are able to offer cover for these harder to place risks i.e. leisure, food, timber, waste
at more competitive rates.

The account requires balance, so a minimum core support of lower hazardous trades is fundamental to
ensuring the profitability of the account for our capacity providers.

SYNERGY MARKETS
For those larger, hard to place risks we offer access to our markets and Lloyd’s brokers to place or schedule
business you might not normally be able to secure.

With a proven track record of successfully helping our independent partners secure large risks when
competing against much larger brokers we will also provide administrative assistance on these accounts i.e.
report writing, client visits, surveys.

SYNERGY SUBSCRIPTION
We offer a £10 million line to Lloyd’s brokers seeking to schedule complex risks, if you are a Synergy partner
we can assist your Lloyd’s broker to get a complex risk finished by offering subscription lines not readily
available in the open market.
