Lucas Fettes, the insurance brokers and independent financial advisers, has launched a specialist retail insurance division.

The new operation, which has been led by managing director (Schemes Division) Brett Sainty, is aimed particularly at Hardware and DIY stores, Ironmongers, Builders Merchants and Wholesalers.

Sainty said: “We have looked closely at the type of insurance cover these sectors require and produced an insurance package that genuinely provides the protection that today's professional retailer needs."
