Food & Drink Insurance
The resilience of the UK’s Food & Drink industry has not been under as much pressure for a long time as it is now, and so the need for the right risk protection advice has never been greater. Our Food & Beverage specialist team have been drawn together from the best of the insurance and risk protection advice industry based on an extensive track-record of advising and protecting clients in the food and drink and catering sectors.
Supply chains
From ethical sourcing & sustainability concerns to commodity price fluctuations & forex risk to the increasingly complicated matter of moving your goods: dependencies and pinch-points in the supply chain have never been so exposed.
Labour market
Increased competition for a diminished labour pool coupled with an employee base with – rightly – higher expectations as to their treatment means the development of your unique employer proposition should be getting increased strategic focus.
Debt in the System
With elevated levels of debt in the supply chain a strategic approach to credit risk management enables access to lending/finance; means your suppliers can get terms on your credit; as well as helping to shape where you should best pursue opportunity.

Key risks & covers for the Food & Drink sector
We believe the arrangement & placement of the general insurance programme to be the most basic element of what we do, but nevertheless a key cornerstone of any risk programme.
In addition to the standard covers, we normally find the most questions around the following specialist areas:
What are the true costs of a recall event if my product is contaminated or unsafe?
Why do I need insurance for my product beyond the standard contracts with my haulier?
I know we’ve invested in IT infrastructure & automation, but how attractive a target are food & drink businesses really to cyber criminals?
Do I really understand the impact to my business of the death or critical illness of a key person or shareholder?
How can I influence my credit terms with my suppliers, and how can I manage the credit risk in my customer book?
How can I improve our appeal to employees to help with staff attraction and retention?
