Sutton Specialist Risks, which is part of Acrisure UK, has developed a new contractors commercial combined product. The launch follows the creation of its property and casualty division last year.

The new product, backed by Lloyd’s capacity, offers covers including public and products liability, employers’ liability, contractors all risks, commercial combined property, business interruption and legal expenses.

Cover is available to trades ranging from civil engineering and groundworks to mechanical and engineering and landscaping. It caters for higher hazard exposures such as working at height and depth, rail and road works and renewable energy installations. The product is available via Acturis.

Tom Sparkes, head of property and casualty at SSR, said: “We are confident that this new product addresses a clear gap in the market – it’s about doing the fundamentals well: specialist underwriting, empowered decision-making and broker service that you can rely on.

“We have negotiated comprehensive built-in extensions, broad delegated authority and multiple coverage sections into one policy. Technology also enables us to transact multiple covers in a way that can scale. With the backing of Acrisure and access to its broad distribution network, we have the capability to grow without losing the agility and principles that matter most to brokers.”
