DAN EDGE: Travelers are genuine specialist in the office insurance space. As one of our specialist sectors, we have the capabilities to offer office solutions from micro SMEs through to mid-market to major corporate accounts. So what makes us really stand out?
As well as all of the standard covers you'd expect like property damage, public liability, all the standard insurance covers, we set ourselves apart by offering a whole host of extra value-added services. For example, a free disaster recovery service offered through our partners at First Recovery, which offers practical support to get office operations back up and running quickly following an insured event at no cost to our customers. They even offer a free business continuity plan.

Why does a business need this insurance?
(SPEECH)
When people think of office insurance, they tend to think of desks, computers, perhaps an open plan office with a printer in the corner. And while some of this is still true, modern office-based businesses aren't just defined by the premises they work from. Modern businesses need cover for laptops and other equipment away from the premises and at the premises. It's easier than ever to trade globally in the modern connected world, so being able to add a global proposition to an office policy is also increasingly important.

Text: Who is this product for?
(SPEECH)
We specialise in traditional office-based professions, such as solicitors, accountants, insurance brokers, but we also cater for newer emerging sectors such as digital and creative practises. We have a particular specialism in the legal sector, where we offer a suite of additional covers and specific BI basis of settlement options.
(DESCRIPTION)
Appetite sweet spots include: Accountants, admin and business services, banking and finance, estate agents, investment dealing, and solicitors/legal services.

That being said, we can consider most office trades, and we understand that not every customer falls neatly into one category. So we're happy to help our brokers find solutions for their specific client needs.

Why Travelers?

We also offer hostage crisis and ransom covers via our criminal protection response cover as standard. If our insured companies need risk management training for their staff, we've got that covered too with access to our partners at Cardinus Risk Management, which comes as standard at no cost to our office customers. If there are operations outside of the UK, we offer easy freedom of services into the EU via our Dublin office. And unlike many insurers, we're able to add full global covers to your office policy via our specialist global team here in the UK, using the INI network across the globe.

Legal sector enhancements
Enhanced cover for the legal industry
Travelers has a proud history of providing comprehensive support to legal businesses. Many firms across the UK trust us to understand their needs and help them trade with maximum confidence.
To offer them truly specialist protection, we have created a comprehensive office insurance package of property, liability and business interruption cover, which also benefits from direct access to our dedicated claims handling and risk management teams.
Standard cover includes:
- Irreplaceable and essential documents. Recognising that law firms hold more valuable documents than other office professions, we cover their reinstatement, as well as the cost of a legal indemnity policy in the event of damage to documents related to property transactions.
- Billable hours. Understanding that every minute counts in the legal profession, our business interruption cover can be offered on a billable hours basis, rather than the standard loss of income.
- Valuables in trust. Providing peace of mind for solicitors holding wills or other valuable items in their care.
Optional cover includes:
- Probate, trust and guardian. Emergency cover for residential buildings where a solicitor is appointed as trustee, legal guardian or executor at short notice.
- Property during conveyance. Should a solicitor be responsible for insuring a residential property during conveyancing, we offer contingency coverage to protect them.
