Leicester broker wins national contract

Leicester broker Marsh & Company has been named the official insurance broker to the National Farm Attractions Network.

Marsh & Company has been carrying out specialist work with visitor attractions and the entertainment industry, including theme parks and stately homes, alongside local business insurance, for 20 years.

The company said that this latest deal recognises the growing trend for farms to diversify into providing entertainment and leisure services alongside traditional agricultural industry, adding that farmers need new kinds of insurance to cover them.

The National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN) provides members with expertise and assistance to form farm-based enterprises, such as farm parks.

Marsh & Company is now providing members with an exclusive NFAN insurance policy, combining insurance against the traditional farming risks and those in the leisure market.

Rob Marsh, chief executive officer of Marsh & Company, said: “We are delighted to have been recognised by the NFAN for our work in this sector. Our visitor attractions team pride themselves in providing versatile, unique and specialist insurance for theme parks and visitor attractions of all types, shapes and sizes and are looking forward to working with more NFAN members.”
