WHY MILES SMITH

We have over 30 years’ experience in arranging bespoke cover for businesses in the hazardous goods industry

Established London Market relationships

Motor cover for Haz businesses available with exclusive Miles Smith extensions

SERVING THE HAZ INDUSTRY

This sector demands careful consideration when addressing insurance needs as higher limits of indemnity are required for Motor, general Third-party and Environmental risks.

In addition, we offer Motor cover and Professional Indemnity to provide a complete solution for you and your clients.

Standard policies can leave gaps in cover which often go unidentified until a loss occurs. For example, the loading of hazardous materials from vehicles, off-road provisions or cross contamination at the delivery stage. Our specialist team are well-versed in these risks and our Haz-Insure scheme is designed to cover any gaps in the policy.

This specialist line of business is often complex, and our experts are happy to discuss risks and suggest non-standard covers for this area. Give us a call to discuss your risk.
