Business Continuity Planning.

Whatever the size of your business the ability to respond swiftly and effectively to a major incident has never been more important. For example, think about the effects on your customers and your business should a catastrophe occur, such as a fire or loss of utilities such as loss of power or severe weather or another fuel crisis.
Any of these events could have an impact on the survival of your business. If you are unable to satisfy your customers' needs - how confident are you they will wait for you to recover?
Business Continuity Planning is about anticipating the crises that could affect your firm and plan for them so you can continue to function in the event of an emergency. It sets out clear roles and responsibilities for those assigned to manage:

  • Liaison with customers

  • Employees

  • Emergency services

  • Contingency requirements.

Most of all it is an assessment of all critical areas of your business and thus a vital management tool.

At Bayliss & Cooke we have access through the Willis Network to specialists in this field. They would be delighted to assist you in compiling your plan.


Health & Safety Services.

Bayliss & Cooke Ltd is proud to recommend the services of SAB Risk Management Ltd to our customers.

Failure to comply with current Health and Safety legislation can have serious consequences for your business and the placing of your insurance policies.

SAB Risk Management Ltd offers a bespoke service for the individual needs of our customers and their businesses ensuring that Safe Systems and procedures are in place before an incident occurs.

Their services include implementation of a full H&S package or a review of an existing policy. Training of employees in H&S matters is also undertaken along with damage limitation investigations following an accident. The assistance and advice given can also assist businesses in gaining industry accreditation.

Further information on SAB Risk Management Services can be found on their website - www.sabriskmanagement.com


Risk Analysis.

To be fully effective a commercial insurance programme must be based upon a continuous review process. This must embrace the progressive identification and evaluation of risk exposures regardless of whether they can be insured or not.

We are aware that traditional starting point for insurance programme design focuses too often on conventional exposure and the application of standard insurance product driven solutions.

It is because of this that Bayliss & Cooke has developed our own Total Risk Identification process.

In simple terms it seeks to identify all of the risks to which your business is exposed not simply the conventional risks - thus providing those charged with forming a company's insurance strategy with a highly detailed review of the trends and forces at work within your business.

We would welcome the opportunity to introduce this service to you.


Coach & Haulage Operators.

Coachline, MPV, Truckline & Fleetline Insurance Services provide a wide range of products and services to suit Coach, Minibus and Haulage operators.

We are different because we focus solely on achieving tailor made solutions for each individual risk.

We deal solely with these sectors and offer highly competitive premiums from our exclusive panel of underwriters, usually within 24 hours of receiving your enquiry.

We are distinctive in our approach - we aim to make your life easier. We pride ourselves in offering a tailored personal service that is all too often neglected in today's market place.
