Improve your clients fleet risk profile

We have vast experience with difficult to place fleet risks and distressed fleet operations, and provide risk management advice to brokers on how to improve their clients’ risk profile. Improving a risk profile makes a claim less likely, and can save a client money on their premium. We have the capability to fully survey a risk and report back with risk management suggestions. By partnering with leading insurers that embrace technological methods to mitigate the risk of loss, there are often many ways a risk profile can become more attractive. This includes use of telematics, where driving data is reported back to the insurer through a fitted device, or adding modern cameras to vehicles, which can also encourage safer driver behaviour. We have key relationships with telematics and camera providers, and recommend driver training courses to demonstrate evidence of best practice. We have the ability to work with leading insurers on risk managed long term agreements that have proven results in improving risk performance.

Motor team

Our product experts have deep, specialist knowledge in their field, built up over years of experience placing risks into Lloyd’s and the London Market. We love sharing our knowledge and that’s why we give you direct access to them.
