Electrical Contractors’ Insurance Company (ECIC) has secured an affinity partnership with J C Roxburgh & Co Ltd for the Scottish Decorators’ Federation.
The partnership will allow J C Roxburgh & Co Ltd, a broker, to offer a range of specialist products provided by ECIC exclusively to federation members.
ECIC was chosen because of its specialist experience within the contractors’ sector and its understanding of decorators’ risks and claims experience. ECIC’s expertise in contractors’ insurance stems from the fact that it is owned by a trade association and already provides a range of value added products and services designed to benefit trade association members.
Members of the Scottish Decorators Federation will have access to exclusive, tailor-made policies that provide wide coverage at competitive rates. These policies – provided through JC Roxburgh in Glasgow and Troon – include public liability, employer’s liability, product liability, coverage for work at heights up to 15 metres and ‘tools, plant and equipment’ cover.
The new partnership follows a previous affinity deal in February 2011 for ECIC with SELECT, the Scottish Electrical Contractors’ Association.
Roger Brown, managing director of ECIC, said: “I am delighted to be working with the Scottish Decorators’ Federation. This is a significant deal because it ensures our expertise is presented to a new set of professionals. As decorating firms develop their insurance and risk awareness, they naturally become more discerning about the brokers and insurers they choose, which is positive for us as a specialist insurer.”
He added: “Members of the Scottish Decorators’ Federation are companies with superior health and safety awareness and should therefore enjoy preferred pricing for their insurance.”
Stewart Roxburgh of J C Roxburgh & Co Ltd said: “We are very pleased to be working with a specialist insurer such as ECIC, which understands the members of the Scottish Decorators’ Federation business very well. We look forward to working together to ensure that the Federation’s Members receive high quality insurance and the latest advice on staying safe and secure.”
