Insurance tailored to your business

As a Chemical business or logistics provider, you know that insurance is critical to the service you provide, but it can also feel like an expensive overhead.

As a member of the Chemical Business Association (CBA) and a leading provider to the chemicals sector we understand the risks involved. We help many of our clients to manage risk through our ROSPA, IOSH and HSE accredited online training modules, our in-house health & safety advisors and disaster recovery team. That means you can draw on our expertise to help identify and assess your risks, propose the right insurance cover with the right insurer at the best price.

Specialist Chemical cover and services

Our Chemical Distribution & Storage Insurance products have evolved over many years, keeping up with the changing risks of the industry. Examples include;

  • Specialist transport insurance for high risk or dangerous chemicals, with particular focus on filling the insurance gap between you, your transport or freight forwarding company, third party warehouse and end-customers
  • Product liability to include cover for the complex consequential losses that can occur if the chemicals you supply are deemed to have contaminated production processes down the line 
  • our Trade Credit team design specific protection against protracted payment default, or contractual failings caused by a contractor or supplier, or other specialist requirements such as Performance and Customs Bonds
  • our in-house trained professionals will review your customer and supplier contracts (Contract Reviews) to improve your negotiating position and minimise your risks through insurance
