physical and legal risks are probable as the general public become
more aware of their rights. Club Insure are fully aware of the litigious
culture thus offer bespoke, tailored made policies specifically designed
to meet the individual requirements of their various clients. They
boast being able to place an inexhaustive list of insurance needs, many
of which are exclusive products unattainable through any other broker
in the UK. We asked Broking Director Steve Fleming for his thoughts
on the current state of the insurance industry.
Q. What are the challenges that you currently face as an insurance
broker?
A. Whilst Club Insure continues to grow its client base in terms of
numbers, it is clear that the turnover in venues and operators around
the country is relatively high, much of our time is spent keeping abreast
of which venues are opening/closing or changing hands.
As with all industries the insurance market is highly competitive
but often that competition comes from brokers or insurers who are
inexperienced in or unsuited for the late licensed leisure trade. Whilst
it might be easier for clubs to seek advice on their insurance through
on line facilities or high street brokers, I’m often finding they are under
insured or inadequately covered; this is incredibly dangerous in such
a litigious society and can be detrimental to their business in the event
of a claim. Mrs Fernley is pictured presenting the AED, which she purchased

brokers who are both experienced and operate with integrity. The
cheapest quote initially often turns into the most expensive in the long
term.
Q. What then does Club Insure offer that is different to the rest of
the market, why are you considered the Premier Insurance broker
for the industry?
A. As the official broker to the Association of Conservative Clubs,
National Union of Liberal Clubs, National Union of Labour &
Socialists Clubs & CISWO, Club Insure are constantly seeking
innovative risk management techniques and working practices. We
take a strong stand on spurious liability claims and work with the
client’s best interest at heart. We understand our clients insurance and
risk management requirements. We have worked over this period to
develop our products to accommodate the ever changing needs and
demands of our clients with our products ranging from property and
liability cover for traditional bars and clubs, to event cancellation
insurance for overseas dance festivals.
As well as experienced insurance specialists, Club Insure provide
in-house account handlers and award winning claims managers, which
allows for constant communication between us and our customers.
The ethos behind our company remains the same; a customer
focused specialist insurance broker which prides itself on an ability to
provide lasting and effective products to our range of clients.

in 2016, and are compliant with all current UK legislation. We recommend that all Clubs use our current contracts of employment for their
employees.
All Contract Packs now include a high quality and durable employee disciplinary and grievance policy handbook which should assist both
Clubs and employees when these issues arise. Contracts for use with employees who live on the Club’s premises now come with a specifically
drafted Service Occupancy Agreement for the employees, and their partners if applicable, to sign in relation to their accommodation.
Our newest introduction to our contracts range is a contract of employment for use by Clubs which employ Bar Managers. We know that
many Clubs employ Bar Managers as opposed to Club Stewards and we are pleased to now supply a specific contract pack for Bar Managers.
The contracts which are offered by the ACC are as follows:
