Due to our extensive experience, our expert team are well versed in the risks that businesses in the food and drink industry are exposed to on a day to day basis.
We continuously review and update our food and drink scheme to reflect emerging risks such as cybercrime, key process machinery breakdown and subsequent loss of profits and legal and regulatory cover for breaches in areas such as incorrect labelling of allergens or incorrect origins of unprocessed meats.
Traditional risk areas such as Public Liability, Product Liability, Employers’ Liability and Business Interruption are growing in complexity. Add this to evolving risks such as Brand and Reputation Damage, Product Recall, Supply Chain Disruption, Regulatory Change and Environmental Risks, then the need for increased cover and risk management becomes paramount.

CYBER CASE STUDY
Miles Smith, now Specialist Risk Group, was asked by a large nationwide retailer to undertake a thorough review of its insurance provisions to highlight any potential gaps in cover.
“We have placed our insurances with Specialist Risk Group, formerly known as Square Mile Broking, for over 5 years. They have a great knowledge of our industry and their attention to detail & responsiveness to our requirements stand out for me. Over the years they have dealt with our claims extremely efficiently and pro-actively and provide quarterly claims reporting so that we can track our claims and action internally. They have been extremely helpful in risk management ideas to help mitigate and minimise our claims. We would not hesitate in recommending their services to any Food & Drink related business.”
