Standout covers we highlight
Directors and Officers liability insurance, also known as Directors and Officers indemnity insurance, offers financial protection against any claims for compensation made against directors and officers of charities. In key posts, there’s a heightened level of responsibility and public accountability. Directors and Officers liability cover offers protection if an employee, sub contractor, service recipient or member of the public claims a director or officer has acted wrongfully. This type of insurance is vital for all businesses.

FAQs about Rail Contractors Insurance
Why will a normal commercial combined policy not meet our requirements?
Due to the high risk in this sector, many standard commercial combined policies exclude work carried out on rail networks. Therefore if a claim was made, it would be rejected, leaving your business in jeopardy.
Will the policies we administer reach the ORR requirements?
Yes, upon incepting cover we send confirmation to the licensing regulation each time the policy is renewed.
