Connect It Utility Services, a rapidly expanding company in the utility sector, achieved an impressive 20% growth in the past year, increasing its turnover from £40 million to £50 million.
As the business grew, the complexity and scope of its insurance needs also expanded.
The Challenge
Managing increased risk due to rapid growth. Finding insurers with an appetite for the specific risks associated with their business. Reducing overall insurance costs while maintaining comprehensive coverage. Enhancing risk management practices and improving claims processes.The Process
1. Market Scouring and Insurer Engagement
Pelican conducted an extensive market search to identify insurers with a strong appetite for the unique risks presented by Connect It Utility Services. This included establishing connections with key underwriters and decision-makers at mainline composite insurers including QBE and Aviva and engaged with Bishopsgate/Price Forbes too.
2. Risk Management Introduction
Pelican introduced robust risk management practices tailored to the needs of Connect It. This proactive approach helped in identifying potential risks and mitigating them effectively. This is often viewed very positively by Insurers.
3. Advanced Claims Management Technology
As Connect IT has grown so has the administrative burden of managing claims. By implementing cutting-edge claims management technology, Pelican ensured (see what we did there?!) that Connect It could manage claims more efficiently, reducing downtime and improving overall claims processing time.
4. Mental Health Programme
Recognising the importance of employee well-being to the team at CIUS, Pelican introduced a mental health solution offered as an added value by one of the composite insurers. This initiative aimed at helping staff return to work quickly after time off, thereby maintaining productivity and morale.
5. Cost Savings
With the growth of the business, Connect It were anticipating a significant increase in their premium. Through strategic market engagement and the introduction of a fresh approach by Aviva, Pelican achieved a dramatic 20% cost saving.
6. The Result
The client was delighted with the results. Pelican’s tailored insurance service not only met the growing needs of Connect It, but also provided significant cost savings and time-saving efficiencies. The introductions to key industry players and the implementation of proven claims management technology added substantial value to the client’s operations.
