Norwich Union has launched a refreshed engineering insurance offering to complement its existing segmented commercial product range. Designed to provide comprehensive cover under one product, it will reduce administration and provide a more streamlined service for customers.
The engineering product is available through Norwich Union’s specialist underwriting centres based in Basildon, Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow. The centres provide teams of expert underwriters and dedicated claims handlers dealing solely with engineering insurance.
Covers available as part of the engineering product are: computer, machinery damage, own and hired-in plant, contract works machinery, deterioration of stock, and engineering business interruption. In addition, engineering inspections can be provided and an online calculator, available via the ebroking website, will enable intermediaries to obtain indicative quotes for computer cover.
Paul Sullivan, property manager at Norwich Union, commented: "Engineering cover is essential for modern business practice where we are becoming increasingly reliant on machinery and equipment. If it can’t function there can be serious impacts on the ability to trade. Our new offering provides a complete insurance solution to guard against most eventualities.
"All commercial business requires some kind of engineering insurance: If you are an office-based business computer cover is required and if working in industry, insurance for machinery and equipment is a necessity. As the UK’s largest insurance group we are using our expertise and knowledge to support our customers and provide the range of services they demand."
