Commercial Motor

We've been serving the transport industry since our company began. That's over 50 years of understanding the issues, coming up with solutions and working hard at getting better at what we do. It's a legacy we're really proud of.

We understand that transport makes a vital contribution to the economy as it moves products and people around the country. And it's important that this is done in the safest and most cost-effective way possible.

Commercial Motor Centre of Expertise

We have one team combining fleet risk managers, motor assessors, underwriters and claims people, who can provide you with:

  • Rapid responses to enquiries
  • Prompt access to the best insurance brains
  • Quicker and more accurate decisions

Segmented offers

Because we recognise that as a transport operator you have unique needs, we have created a range of segmented insurance offers. We understand there are some fundamental differences between different sized fleets, and have tailored our insurance packages to meet your specific needs.
