Fully independent insurance broker, the Bletchley Group, has announced an exclusive new partnership with the Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT).

As an appointed partner of IOE&IT, the Bletchley Group will offer bespoke insurance and risk management solutions to the UK’s international traders.

The service will be aimed at member companies in several sectors including transport, logistics, manufacturing and engineering among others. IOE&IT members can draw on the Bletchley Group’s insurance and risk audit service to request a full review of their business and its activities to obtain a clear understanding of where any risks and exposures lie.

Helen Hastie, membership development manager at IOE&IT, said:

“We are always looking for new services and benefits to add value to our members’ experience of IOE&IT. At a time of greater uncertainty and complexity in international trade, having the right insurance is critical for success and we are delighted to team up with the Bletchley Group to help bring members greater peace of mind when they are trading internationally.”

Richard Brannigan, founder and director of the Bletchley Group, said that the company was “proud to be aligned” with IOE&IT.

He added:

“We enjoy strong relationships with an extensive network of market-leading insurers, which means that we can deliver benefits and enhanced products not available elsewhere. IOE&IT members want the right level of cover at a fair price and not the standard package that everyone else has.

“We are actively navigating the market to source the best possible options based on member demand. Our objective is to provide access to wider levels of coverage with a range of benefits such as bespoke worded policies, attractive rates and increased indemnity limits.”
