Personal Accident and Assault

There are several different types of personal accident cover. Personal accident only, group accident, personal accident sickness and personal accident assault all with varying levels of cover. Speak to your broker to see which policy cover options are open to you. The cover may be included or obtainable as a stand-alone policy.

Tools and Equipment

Insuring the tools you use for your trade is vital. In the main, contractors consider their work tools an indispensable part of running their businesses. You can in most cases insure your hand tools and power tools against damage, theft or loss under your general liability insurance. It is essential you choose the correct insurer and have a conversation with your broker, as not all insurers will allow tools to be added to their product.

If everyone did as you do
Your review
Dealt with Katheryn and can honestly say she is a credit to this company.

Thouroughly explained well executed and she delivered on her promise.

Out of the 8 companies i contacted she was the only 1 who did the job right.

Thanks very very much for all your hard work.

If everyone did as you do without trying it wus be a much easier task to obtain insurance.

Warm regards katheryn.
