Introduction to AJG

Summary of Winter Events and Claims

If the unexpected happens make sure your insurance programme is tailored to suit your

specific requirements and needs

Seven storms across the UK between 5/12/13 and 14/2/14

Unprecedented series of events

As a result, 65 property damage claims reported with in excess of £1.5m paid and

outstanding by scheme Insurers

Largest single loss was £250k– following structural damage to Clubhouse and significant

internal loss as a result of tidal surge in December 2013

Buildings and Contents claims accounted for over 85% of losses during the year

Today’s Focus - Winter 2013/14

Choosing the most appropriate cover and sums insured

Seek guidance and advice from your Insurance advisor (Buildings, Fixtures and Fittings,

Contents, Stock, Cups and Trophies, Loss of Revenue, Boats)

Appoint a Club official with responsibility to evaluate your needs

Property & Assets

Obtain a professional valuation survey (RICS surveyor)

Need to factor in building control improvements on cost of reinstatement

Need to formulate and maintain an inventory of Fixtures, Fittings & Contents

Review Marine Installation needs – Reinstatement or First Loss cover?

Business Interruption

Get sum insured right (revenue declaration)

Indemnity period – How long will it take to reinstate your premises?

Having the Most Appropriate Cover

• Regular dialogue with clients and the

provision of advice

• Informative articles and awareness

marketing

• Broad cover and limits provided to help

minimise any potential future issues

• First class expert claims service in the

event that the worst happens.

The AJG Approach

You should:

Carry out regular assessments of your sums insured

Obtain a professional valuation for Club Buildings

Seek guidance & recommendations of your Insurance advisor

Give consideration to a “Plan B” to ensure continuity of activities

By doing so, you will:

Avoid underinsurance complications in the event of a claim

Avoid potential application of ‘Average’ by Insurers

Minimise any period of Club/TC inactivity
