Insuran ce is an aspect that all worker co-ops need to thi nk about as part of running a business\, and a que stion that reaches us often.

These works hops will be guided and led by the facilitator wit h space for discussion and Q&As to learn from othe rs in the room.
\n \nSession 1
\n \nInsurance for worker co-op eratives can be tricky\, especially where an activ ity or service is uncommon\, high-risk or there ar e unusual circumstances\, such as being community- led. Members who have faced barriers to finding in surance elsewhere have recommended Howden as an in surance broker. Matt Parry is from insurance broke r How den\, who've advised and found the right deal for quite a few workers.coop members:
\n \n"Howdens got us favourable terms through their specialist London Broking division at £3\,000 low er than the next best quote through another broker . Then we had a fire and a difficult but successfu l claim\, so I was anxious about the renewal. Howd ens came through for us again\, so would definitel y recommend them to other members!" - Grace Harrison\, Kitty's Launderette
\n \n"Howdens leveraged their relationship and sizeable account with our existing insurer to get us a £1\,200 saving\, with only one week left to renew." - Natasha Natarajan\, Out landish
\n \nMatt will run a webin ar on the subject to share insights and take quest ions on how to design exactly the types of cover y ou need at the lowest cost\, so sure you're prepar ed for known and unknown risks.
