Supply Chain Risk Management Solutions

In 2017 cargo crime accounted for over £55 million worth of goods stolen in the UK.

The insurance market continues to react to policyholder’s supply chain concerns. Many insurers are working in partnership with organisations providing supply chain services including supply chain compliance audits, intelligence and risk management software solutions, and advisory services.

These partnerships benefit policyholders and their broker partners with information of new supply chain trends and insights delivered via publication and webinars, which will help to build awareness around risks in the supply chain. 

Understanding the risks, where they exist, and how likely they are to occur is important for organisations to help minimise delays, costs, financial losses and hazards that can result from this significant threat. 

Supply chain security mitigation is not always about employing physical security measures. In addition, it should be focused on the development of increased resilience including creating procedures and risk assessment methods for organisation supply chain security programme.

Please contact us if you would like to receive more information on how these new developments can support your organisation in 2019.

We’ve been busier than usual here at AE Insurance Brokers lately. As part of our ongoing commitment to staying current and effective, we recently underwent a brand refresh. While it looked like a cosmetic change - a new logo, a fresh colour palette and font - the process was actually a deep dive into who we are, how we serve our clients, and where the industry is heading.

And while we were looking in the mirror, something struck us: many businesses don’t look in theirs often enough.

When we talk to UK business owners one pattern emerges consistently. Companies grow, pivot, hire, launch new products, or expand into new territories. Yet their insurance policies often remain frozen in time, reflecting the version of the business that existed twelve months ago - or worse, five years ago.

Insurance is often treated as a compliance checkbox: a bill that needs paying, a certificate that needs sending. But if your business has changed, your risk profile has changed too, and when your policy doesn’t match your reality, you’re likely overpaying and potentially leaving dangerous gaps in your protection.
