Our people... your team

As a business person, it would have to be your worst nightmare to receive a call from a colleague telling you that there has been a major fire or a flood at one of your premises.

Instantly your mind starts to overload with thoughts of the possible consequences - failure to meet existing contracts, lack of suitable alternative premises, replacement machinery, staff lay-offs, adverse media comment, negative public perception and the worst case scenario, the failure of the business.

A serious incident has the capability of disrupting a company to the point where survival may be in doubt and the statistics for business recovery after a major loss, even with adequate insurance, are very poor.

Accepted business practices designed to improve efficiency and profit, such as just in time component supply, reduced staff numbers and the increased use of sub-contractors can all serve to increase the risk of failure when things go wrong.

Even if you have a well-rehearsed back up or disaster plan in place to respond to some of these issues, you will still have the business insurance claim itself to deal with.

One call to Harris Balcombe and you are instantly back on track.

A senior Account Director, experienced in your particular commercial sector, would work closely with your management team and external advisors to identify and expedite the issues facing your company to ensure that you continue to focus on commercial issues.

He would then appoint a multi-disciplinary team to support him, which would provide all the help you need to avoid any potential pitfalls - keeping you informed every step of the way.

Key issues would include sourcing alternative premises, agreeing appropriate staff deployment, assembling evidence, cash flow management and securing a prompt settlement.

Our professionals speak the language of commerce and insurance, they are highly regarded by clients and within the insurance industry for their professionalism and creativity.

Just imagine if they were on your side!
