Welcome to bpif insurance
services, the newly formed
insurance service created
to offer members bespoke
insurance solutions. bpif
insurance services presents
an alternative to standard
insurance suppliers by
providing a variety of print
specific products, benefits
and competitive pricing
exclusively for members.
Now members have access
to specialist insurance solutions
With bpif insurance services,
Likely to be the principal purchase within your business insurance portfolio, we offer a selection of products from our panel of insurers. All products offer print specific cover to protect you in the areas of property damage, business interruption, employers’ and public liability, money, goods in transit, financial loss, libel & slander etc.
A core philosophy of bpif insurance services when negotiating terms with our insurers is to ensure that investments made by members to improve risk management within their business in areas such as Health and Safety, training, disaster recovery planning and property protection are recognised and reflected in the premium terms offered.
When reviewing your business and insurance requirements, we’ll complete a risk management scorecard with you, which has been specifically designed for the print sector and will enable insurers to assess and measure the quality of your business.
Our insurers are committed to using that information to ensure their premium terms reflect the quality of your business. The better your scorecard rating, the more premium you could save. We’ll be completely transparent and discuss any steps you might take to improve your rating. As a BPIF member you can rely on sound advice, services and training when you want to make health, safety and environmental improvements in your business.
Our products - designed for your
business
At bpif insurance services, we’ve used our knowledge of the print
