Manchester broker JL Manson & Partners is offering international hauliers cover against the huge fines they face if they innocently bring illegal immigrants into the country.

The policy covers hauliers for up to £10,000 per client per claim and legal costs of up to £1,500. The fine for each stowaway found is £2,000.

Peter Stoll, director at JL Manson & Partners, said vehicles could be impounded until the fine was paid, and it was this downtime that could be more crippling than the fine itself.


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.
