We are delighted to announce that the third quarter winners of our Pauline Uludag Employee of the Year Award are Georgia Hollis and Andy King. Here's a little bit about our quarter 3 winners, and the reason why our staff voted for them:
Many small- and medium-sized businesses in the UK are risking their own survival by unwittingly remaining underinsured.
The Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) report, although conducted in 2012, revealed that 40% of businesses do not have enough business interruption cover to get them back on their feet. Furthermore, in 25% of SME claims reviewed by the FCA in 2015, the indemnity period expired before they returned to the normal trading position.
You may only find out that your business is underinsured when you experience a major loss event, such as a data breach, flood or fire, and need to make a claim. Be proactive and know your status now so you can fix that gap and be prepared for anything.
