Business owners are busy running their day-to-day operations and looking after their customers. Our role is to come in with a deep understanding of the specific risks they face so we can help to protect the business and its people. This leaves the business owner worry-free to get on with what they do best.
“We have developed our Motor Trades Plus solution specifically for IAME members. It provides members with a base cover and additional benefits that are specific to the automotive trade industry. These can include accidental damage, transit cover, and seasonal increases for catastrophe events.”
