Preparing for the unexpected with specialist crisis management support

At a time when criminals are adapting their methods, supply chains are becoming more complex and a brand’s reputation can hang on a single tweet, emergency situations can develop rapidly. Often, businesses are forced to respond at a moment’s notice and in areas that are outside their expertise. In light of all these factors, it’s clear that traditional insurance solutions do not provide the broad and responsive cover that businesses now require.

Lockton’s experienced advisors will act as your strategic partners, working closely with you to understand the pressures that you are dealing with, in order to manage your specific exposures.

The property fire risk of cars and associated enclosed parking areas has changed significantly over recent decades, increasing the risk of a large loss. Many modern vehicles have increased in size and incorporate bigger quantities of combustible materials such as plastics and other synthetic materials. New vehicle technologies have introduced innovative fuel sources such as electric batteries which can change the burning characteristics and required firefighting strategies. The design of car parks has also changed, introducing features such as sloped floors or technology to increase parking capacity such as car stackers.Inside Risk: Sprinkler protection in enclosed parking structures
