UK insurance broker and risk advisor, Marsh Commercial, part of Marsh, has announced that it is to provide insurance and risk management services to Pall-Ex Group.
Pall-Ex Group is a global palletised freight distribution network comprised of SME haulage companies, and members of its pallet delivery network.
This announcement follows the establishment of a dedicated Transportation Industry Practice Group within Marsh Commercial, which is made up of specialists in broking, client service, and claims.
Amid an evolving risk landscape and challenging market conditions, Pall-Ex Group and its network members will now have access to the solutions that will enable them to manage the risks they face and grow their business with greater confidence.
Pall-Ex is now a leading player in the industry with over 160 UK members, and has been supporting the effort to deliver a quality palletised freight distribution service throughout the UK and Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Damian Silverman, Client Director at Marsh Commercial, commented: “Our capacity to support organisations through change, combined with our extensive experience in the transport, haulage and distribution sectors, means we can draw on our collective insight to provide the best solutions for both Pall-Ex Group and its growing network of members.”
Kevin Buchanan, Pall-Ex Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), added: “Our long-standing relationship with Marsh Commercial made them the ideal fit when it came to group insurance and ensuring the safety and compliance of our growing Pall-Ex Group membership.
“As we look to further grow into the business-to-consumer (B2C) market, we need to ensure the safety of our members, our network of incredible drivers, and the end customers. B2C deliveries offer their own set of challenges but with Marsh’s expertise within the sector I know we can work together and provide a quality, efficient, and safe insurance and risk solution to our entire membership.”
