How Verlingue have recently supported a NWAA member

Who we are

We are delighted to introduce a new team to look after NWAA members – experienced Insurance Brokers Phil Kelly and John O’Hara.

They look forward to working with many of you over the months to come.

Verlingue is a leading insurance broker and risk management consultant with experience in the aerospace sector. We help businesses control risk and manage long term insurance costs, whether they operate solely in the UK or internationally. We have an outstanding reputation for client service and are proud to have been awarded the prestigious Investor in Customers Gold Award, as well as ‘Commercial Lines Broker of the Year - SME/ Mid Corporate’ at the UK’s most prestigious insurance industry award ceremony, the British Insurance Awards. As part of one of Europe’s leading insurance businesses, our buying power in the insurance market means that we are able to access competitive insurance solutions which are supported by help from our in-house risk management experts.

Airframe Designs Ltd were referred to Verlingue by the NWAA because they were looking for assistance with their insurance arrangements. Historically the company had been involved with engineering design and consultancy services to the aerospace sector, however, they are now moving to manufacture and supply of products. The switch to being a manufacturer / supplier of physical products altered the requirements for their insurances, and their current insurance placements would not have been fit for purpose to pick up this new exposure. After several positive calls with the leaders of the business to understand fully the operation, we were able to source a suitable solution to cover the Products Liability Insurance.
