The Pet Industry Federation (PIF) has signed a new insurance partnership with animal business insurance specialists Cliverton, which will also lead to an expansion of a benevolent fund to help those in need in the industry.
For members in the grooming, boarding, daycare and pet services sectors, Cliverton will offer members bespoke business insurance, as well as home insurance, for those running a business from home. For larger members with more complex insurance needs, Cliverton’s sister company Lycetts Insurance Brokers & Financial Services will provide a full service.
For each member who takes out an insurance policy, Cliverton and Lycetts will contribute to PIF’s Benevolent Fund, which is currently being established to help support the pet industry during hard times.
PIF chief executive Nigel Baker said: “We were impressed by Cliverton and Lycetts approach from the outset. They are not your typical insurance people, they talk plain English, really care and are genuinely looking to create a strong and mutually collaborative partnership with PIF.
“We were really excited by the opportunity to set up the Benevolent Fund and be able to support those of our members who fall on hard times.”
