Pub Insurance Offer at Pub Business 2008
Author: Amy Duckworth, 22 April 2008.
In a bold move, pub insurance specialist Alan Boswell Group is guaranteeing to save publicans money on their business insurance. Visitors to the Pub Business 2008 show will be offered a price guarantee which promises a saving of at least 10% per annum for qualifying pubs and wine bars. Pub Business 2008 takes place at Birmingham NEC on May 20th and 21st 2008. The show will bring together a host of suppliers and provide licensees and pub managers with a wealth of information and business ideas. With pubs facing tough trading conditions, it’s never been more important to find new ways to bring in customers, reduce overheads and improve profitability. The Pub Business Show will offer something for both existing and prospective publicans.
To qualify for the Alan Boswell
pub insurance price guarantee, businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Their principal business must be that of a licensee at a public house or wine bar.
- They must have been trading for a minimum of 12 months.
- They must have had no losses or claims in the past 24 months costing more than £2500.
- They must already be insured elsewhere and bring with them a copy of their business insurance policy schedule showing the current premium and cover. This must be produced at the Alan Boswell stand (F27) when a quotation is requested.
For businesses which meet these conditions, Alan Boswell Group’s
pub insurance team is guaranteeing to offer a
pub insurance quotation with a minimum saving of 10% per annum.
Jon Preston, who heads up AB Group's Leisure and Hospitality insurance division, describes the offer as “a genuine money saving proposal for publicans, pub managers and pub chain owners.”
"We realise that there’s more to good
pub insurance than simply a cheaper quotation but we have to be realistic:
business insurance is not a very exciting product and publicans need a reason to come to see us."
And Mr Preston is keen to emphasise that the cover on offer will not be reduced: “We’ll be giving independent advice and a full broking service. Our quotations will be competitive enough to secure the business but the cover will be top quality and entirely appropriate for the individual businesses that come to us.”
