Why Us

Small print… can mean… big problems…

Delta Corporate Risk partner with several of the country’s largest commercial claims adjustors and claims organisations. They provide us with insight and feedback on claims issues, discuss those Insurers who appear to be most stringent in dealing with claims and the current problems that clients face when confronted with large and complex losses.

When reviewing prospective clients' insurance programmes Delta Corporate Risk witness on a continual basis poorly arranged cover, policyholders unaware of policy conditions and businesses breaching policy warranties.

All of the above provides Insurers with the opportunity to refuse payment in the event of a claim.

In fact around 50% of all commercial claims are now being disputed due to the “small print” a fact which does not appear to be discussed with many policyholders and their broker.

“You are on your own…”

Not something you want to hear at the time when you most need the security of an insurance policy.

In our experience only a small percentage of brokers undertake a face to face policy wording review with their clients.

Unfortunately this is a commercial reality for many businesses and without professional guidance it is too easy to fall foul of your insurance obligations with your business suddenly losing the protection your policy should afford.

“Joined up thinking…”

In addition to scrutiny of policy cover Delta Corporate Risk implement various measures to ensure all personnel in your organisation are aware of their obligations in relation to the company insurance programme. Our account executives will discuss this further on site together with our additional benefits programme.

Delta Corporate Risk have a wealth of knowledge in reviewing arranging and implementing the correct insurance portfolio for clients. Our aim is to deliver a cost effective solution addressing exposures to risk with a client who fully understands the scope and cover our solution provides. Our proposition is geared towards a competitive premium solution with the sole aim of your claim being paid if and when your business sustains a loss. We continue to successfully negotiate multi-million pound settlements for our policyholders to ensure they are back in business at the earliest opportunity.

– Munitions company, North East, £2m turnover

We were approached by a respected broker, who offered to review our insurance portfolio. The broker tabled a significantly lower premium on our Liability Insurance, which initially made me question Delta's Account Manager. However, upon investigation, it was discovered the competing broker had failed to include a cover extension, included within the terms offered by Delta; and hadn't noticed we had made a claim in the previous year under the same extension. The other broker's proposal was dismissed and we renewed with Delta…

Credit Insurance

If your customer goes into liquidation, 76% of the time you will recover none of the monies.

In a year the average company will lose more than three of its active customers because of financial stress, insolvency, administration or receivership.

We understand these risks and have partnered with Allianz Trade to offer solutions and protection.
