Focus joins forces with NIG to launch contractors liability facility
Specialist construction managing general agent Focus has teamed up with NIG to launch a contractors liability facility designed especially for smaller contractors.
The scheme, which is now available to Focus’s panel of brokers on a delegated authority basis, offers public and employers liability insurance to contractors with turnovers up to £5m, in addition to contractors all risks.
According to the MGA, the facility has been designed to cover a range of constructions trades, including builders, bricklayers, carpenters, painters and decorators, double glazing installers, fencing contractors, flooring and tiling contractors, plasterers, and shopfitters.
