BESA and REFCOM to offer specialist insurance

UK: BESA and REFCOM have launched their own brand of specialised business-related insurance products in conjunction with insurance brokers Marsh Commercial.

The new service promises a range of insurance policies tailored specifically for BESA and REFCOM members that includes: public liability, employers liability, professional indemnity, cyber insurance, tools insurance and van/fleet insurance. All policies have been developed and selected with the needs of BESA and REFCOM members in mind. 

BESA Business Insurance Services and REFCOM Business Insurance Services will be trading names of Marsh Commercial.

BESA’s commercial services MD Kirsty Cogan BESA said that the high standards set by the BESA Competence Assessment Standard and the REFCOM compliance audit has enabled it to agree preferential rates for members.

“We are constantly striving to enhance the benefits we offer members and insurance is one of those essential services we know has become challenging in recent years, with premiums rising. Our partnership with Marsh means we can offer a much-needed service to our members,” added BESA membership director Jason Hemmingway.

Marsh Commercial MD of schemes and affinities Paul Buckle said: “We’ve worked closely with them to understand the specialist risks that face the membership and have developed a range of solutions to effectively manage those risks.”
