Why Specialist Brokers Matter for Unusual Risks
Whole-market access
We aren't tied to one insurer, so when a risk is unusual we can go to the Lloyd's market, specialist MGAs, and niche underwriters most brokers don't touch.
Reviewed by a real specialist
Algorithms struggle with odd trades — they either refuse or overprice. Our placement team reads the risk, talks to underwriters, and builds the case for fair terms.
50+ years of edge cases
From abattoirs to zoos, we've placed cover for thousands of unusual trades. That institutional memory is what makes the difference when your risk doesn't fit a template.
Been turned down by another broker?
That's often exactly when we come in. Direct insurers and volume brokers refuse risks that don't fit their template — but those risks still need cover, and we do the legwork to find it. If you've been told "no" elsewhere, or quoted a premium that made no sense for your business, tell us what happened. We place hard cases every week.

Over five decades, we've arranged insurance for an extraordinary range of businesses — from food processors and specialist manufacturers to event technicians, animal-handling operations, and niche product importers. If you've been refused elsewhere, told your trade is "too unusual", or struggled to get a quote that actually fits, that's exactly the work our placement team does every day.
Recent placements include demolition contractors, zoo keepers, abattoirs, escape rooms, bouncy castle hire operators, drone pilots, tree surgeons, scaffolding contractors, firework event organisers, axe throwing venues, artisan food producers, market traders, AV and event technicians, specialist importers, and dozens of other trades that don't fit a standard template.
