Biba and CNA Insurance are to launch an online excess liability scheme at this years' Biba conference in Glasgow.

The scheme is aimed at small and medium sized UK-based contracting businesses with a turnover of up to £20m.

Plasterers, plumbers, window fitters and builders were all ideal clients for the new scheme, called cnaexcess.co.uk, said CNA.

CNA said it was now an increasingly common requirement for principals to request confirmation of insurance cover, both in terms of the cover provided and the limits of indemnity given.

The company said it aims to provide extra cover of up to £10m above the limits of insurance provided by the primary public liability policy for any one occurrence, through its website quotation system.

An online demonstration of the product will be available at the CNA stand at the Biba conference.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
