Agri-Commerce
This sector has expanded rapidly over the last 20 years. Our staff have worked with a wide range of client companies, some privately owned and others with a full listing on the London Stock Exchange. In one instance we helped achieve £85,000 savings after the direct insurer had put forward their renewal terms. This was achieved in two stages. Firstly a £45,000 reduction was agreed and the client did not think that it was possible to achieve more. By implementing stage two of an agreed process, the existing Insurer dropped another £40,000 without any other insurers being involved, much to the incredulity of the client company.
Our key input is the implementation of effective strategies which reduce the cost of Insurance without sacrificing existing cover. Consideration is given to the protection of both visible and invisible assets.
Historically, many companies in this sector have their origins in Farming. They have been offered limited choice of Insurer in the past and may be unaware that as a consequence it is possible to pay many thousands of pounds too much, over a number of years.
The future for this sector is undoubtedly increased efficiency as the British market battles against cheap imports manufactured by companies with a lower cost base. Ford Risk relishes the challenge of contributing to a stronger bottom line by working with client companies towards the goal of increased sustainable profit by reducing one of their "fixed" costs: Commercial Insurance.
