An insured suffered a major fire loss at their distillery products facility, which due to complexities with the age and build type of the property, meant that there was significant potential for a long-term business interruption loss.
Our claims team worked closely with the adjustment team and supported our insured’s use of its own machinery experts to assist in quantum evaluation. Within a few weeks we had made significant interim payments to bolster the insured’s cash flow and enable them to make a series of both permanent and temporary repairs to keep their operations running.
Through working closely with our insured and their broker, we were able to help give them certainty over their future operational capabilities. As a result, they proceeded to construct a new plant with an increased output capacity on the exterior of the existing premises.

As we approach the mid-point of 2023, the predictions we made about a hardening property market at the turn of the year have borne out, and the impact of reinsured natural catastrophe losses trickling into the primary market means that there is a further correction coming.
