We help our BUSINESS insurer partners stand out from the crowd


The SME insurance marketplace is becoming more competitive every year. Other than by brand or price it is very difficult for insurers to differentiate themselves in this increasingly overcrowded and homogenous sector.

We provide differentiation to those insurers that adopt our service, delivering competitive advantage to our insurer partners as well as a valued service to their SME clients.

 

How we work with Insurers


Our Disaster Recovery service is embedded into an insurer partner’s policy offering, typically at no cost to the client. This requires no change to policy wordings. A document advising the insured of the service and what to do in an emergency is provided.

We charge our insurer partners a monthly fee based on the number of policies to which the service attaches. This could be an entire portfolio, a scheme or a specific broker’s facility with the insurer partner.

 

OUR DISASTER RECOVERY SERVICE


First Recovery’s unique emergency disaster recovery service comprises:

  • Accommodation (normally within a 5 mile radius of the insured premises) in any one of over 500 standby office locations around the UK complete with furniture, meeting rooms, reception facilities and secretarial services
  • A dedicated disaster event manager attends on site along with the IT technicians
  • Reinstatement of the client’s email service
  • Delivery, commissioning and installation of a standby PC network - up to 12 stations
  • Reinstatement of data where our online backup service has been used
  • Redirection of telephone lines

…all services delivered within 24 hours of receiving instructions to mobilise from the insurer partner.
