I’ve been asked the question on this a few times and, until it came up in conversation today, I didn’t give it much weight but here goes…
Would there be any interest in an insurance “package” that covered you for public/employer’s liability, van/car, goods in transit etc. tailored to meet your needs obviously but with quite a few things written in to suit us, repairers?
If there’s enough interest I’ll pursue it.

Re: Business/Van Insurance
For sure…. that would be much easier than dealing with 2/3/4 different companies, and having different renewal dates! That’s a yes from me 😀
Yeah, that was my feeling as well. Just saves so much mucking about with rubbish admin stuff that I don’t have time for/can’t be bothered with. 😉

Thank you very much for insurance company contact. :tup: As you were aware i was very pushed for time as it expired today.
Graham and Zoe from Smart & Cook really helpfull they spent late Thursday afternoon and Friday Morning comparing and trying to obtain quotes for me.
The quote was a bit more than my renewal but the clause with my exisiting insurer was i required an alarm system to be fitted by thier recommended contractors which would have cost me over £800 to install which for the amount of goods in the unit was OTT.
Being on trading estate hearing alarms go off all the time no one pays any notice.So the cover I have now got is with axa and they dont require an approved alarm system so that has saved me that expense.
The building is like fortnocks the amount of padlocks and large roller shutterdoors to get through takes 10 mintes to open up in the morning.As you mentioned Ken in your email I am the guinea pig.
Hopefully they will be able to negociate better rates in the future as more of us join we should be able to get a better discount. I did explain that the requirments are different for each member, But if they can put a package together that can be taylored to suites everyone in our trade then its a start.
It may be worth collecting some basic information from each member, if they want to give it about what cover they require, if it is liablilty only or both contents, buildings, stock in transit etc, at least then Graham can put something together.
Any way thanks again Ken, keep up the good work and sorry to have kept emailing you but I got there in the end. I will leave you in peace now atleast for a few days.
Regards

No probs Steven, it needed sorting and at least we’ve got a start to it.
As I have said before, while you may be able to get it cheaper in the shorter term, over the longer term the more of us that use such facilities the more bargaining power we collectively will have.
So, brill news really. 🙂
