Commercial Insurance

Mitigating risk. Protecting your business.

Erskine Murray’s commercial insurance team work across many industries and sectors, providing bespoke insurance solutions to large businesses including multinational companies as well as international corporates.

We pride ourselves on working closely with our commercial clients, taking time to understand their business, growth patterns and aspirations. This allows us to accurately assess the risks involved and explore how we can mitigate, reduce or eliminate exposure, setting us apart as an insurance broker for the commercial sector. Generating an individual risk profile forms a major part of our offering, along with on-going risk management as our clients’ businesses evolve.

We are members of the Willis Towers Watson Networks and Unison which further enhances our expertise and capabilities both in the UK and overseas. Using these relationships, we access and deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions that provide maximum protection for our client’s businesses and associated assets.

With a Midlands based head office in Leicester, and regional offices in the North West and South East, we employ a wide network of staff comprising dedicated regional and field-based Account Executives, giving us a national reach.

Commercial insurance refers to the coverage of multiple types of business insurance; this can include property damage, business interruption and warehouse insurance. When combined, these policies can serve to protect businesses in all insurable eventualities. Depending on the level of cover, commercial insurance can also protect business owners from insurance claims made by the public, customers or employees.

At Erskine Murray, we explore each client’s situation so that we fully understand the needs of their insurance cover. From this, we are able to offer tailored commercial insurance products to meet the unique requirements of businesses and business owners.

Architects and Consulting Engineers

The Code of the Architects Registration Board (ARB) requires Architects to have adequate and appropriate insurance cover.

The responsibility is on the Architect to ensure that the level of indemnity maintained is appropriate for the scale and nature of work undertaken. In any event the ARB requires Architects to hold a limit of indemnity of no less than £250,000.

Key Considerations

  • ARB requirement to maintain professional indemnity insurance.
  • Professional indemnity insurance designed to cover both claims against you and defence costs for mistakes you make whilst undertaking professional services.
  • ARB requires minimum of £250,000 but it’s the Architects responsibility to ensure level maintained is appropriate.
  • Circumstances in which claims arise vary substantially so consideration must be given to the scale and nature of work undertaken.
  • Question of what limit of indemnity to hold should be made whilst considering what is the degree of loss that might result from an error on any scheme.
  • Professional negligence claims can result is substantial settlements and legal costs which can far exceed the project value.

We arrange cover for a range of Architectural firms from international award-winning firms to sole trader practices. We treat every client individually and often modify policies to respond to specific requirements. If you contact us, you will have access to experienced members of our team who are interested in you and your business and who will be able to offer you direct and sensible advice.
