Arista launches petrol stations scheme with broker

Commercial lines underwriter Arista has developed an exclusive scheme with Cheshire-based broker R K Henshall & Co to provide a comprehensive package of insurances for petrol stations and forecourts.

The product, Petrosure, will be available with immediate effect through RK Henshall, which will target petrol stations and forecourts throughout the UK.

Managing director John Henshall said: “We identified and recognised the need for a tailored product for this niche and that we had the expert knowledge required to build it. What we needed was an insurance provider with the speed of service and the strength to support us as we target this sector.

“Although we looked at a range of potential providers the existing close-working relationship with Arista, plus their flexibility and a proven track record of building specialist schemes, made them the ideal partner.”

Arista’s schemes manager, Andrew Ball, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of this jointly developed scheme with R K Henshall, whose approachable team and expertise made the whole process run remarkably smoothly.

"This also demonstrates both our commitment to providing a first class service to brokers and our desire to engage with them to help their businesses develop as part of their partnership with us.”
