Men in Sheds Groups are incredibly popular and springing up across the UK! Some insurers have been a little nervous about the use of manual tools but we can help groups find suitable cover.
Mens Sheds Insurance
Mens Sheds have become very popular in recent years in the UK and not all insurance companies are happy to provide cover for these groups. We might speculate that part of their hesitation has been the risk of injury caused by the tools that are used in Mens Sheds Groups.
However, at Ladbrook, we are a broker and completely independent. we work with a range of insurers that specialise in Community Group cover and we have a number of providers that will consider insurance for Men’s Sheds groups.
The main covers your group should consider are:
Public Liability – Most Men’s Sheds groups are taking place in hired premises
Product Libility – Many of the groups we insure are producing items like wooden toys for sale or donation, we can help advise around the risk of a claim made for injury following the supply of a defective item.
Employers Liability – This will help insure against injury to volunteers, most insurers treat volunteers as employees.
Assets – If your group has tools, stock or other assets, we can help insure them too.
