Specialist Security Insurance

Security businesses operate in an industry
where the consequences of an incident can be
significant. Claims may involve injury,
property damage, theft, allegations of
negligence or financial loss.

Different security activities can require
very different insurance arrangements.
For example, a security guarding company
may face different exposures from a business
installing intruder alarms or fire safety
equipment.

We take the time to understand the services
you provide, your contracts, staffing
arrangements and operating procedures
before approaching suitable insurers.

Our aim is to help you arrange insurance
that reflects the activities your business
actually undertakes.

the insurer selected, available cover may include:
