Our specialist team is the leading independent producer to the London and Bermuda markets.

Why is it important?

No matter how careful your manufacturing process, accidents can happen. Faulty machinery, user error, or even damage in transit can result in defective products. And with tough contracts passing costs up the supply chain, it often falls to manufacturers to pick up the bill when an item is recalled.

The General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) requires the manufacturer to withdraw and recall dangerous products, inform the regulatory authority, and ensure that anyone in possession of the product knows of its safety concerns. This can be expensive, time-consuming, and harmful to a company’s reputation.

Comprehensive insurance can protect you from the fall-out.
