Our approach

We operate as an extension of your organisation

One dedicated point of contact, cover structured around your business and active support from placement through to claim.

We are not a pass-through between you and your insurer

We work as an extension of your team; understanding your business, anticipating the risks involved and structuring insurance around the way you trade. We manage the entire insurance process.

Adviser

We identify your exposures and advise you on the most appropriate way to address them.

Negotiator

We defend your interests in the insurance market, negotiating the right scope of cover, terms and pricing.

Risk manager

We assess the risks across your operations and consider how these can bereduced, transferred or insured.

Coordinator

We manage the insurance process from start to finish, coordinating with every party involved from placement through to claims and final recovery. We run the entire process, from placement through to final recovery. We coordinate with every party involved.

We coordinate with every party involved

Insurance rarely involves only you and your Underwriters. A single loss can involve surveyors, carriers, lawyers, recovery agents and local correspondents; often across multiple jurisdictions. We bring those parties together and coordinate the process on your behalf, giving you one central point of contact and ensuring information, actions and responsibilities remain aligned throughout.

A single point of contact, end to end

Most brokers split their work across departments, with one team placing cover and another handling claims. Valuable information and time may be lost in between.

At Havrico Insurance, every client has a dedicated Account Manager who remains closely involved throughout the relationship, from structuring your cover to handling your claims.

Your account manager

One dedicated point of contact who understands the full picture; your business, trade flows and contracts, cover and ongoing matters. From structuring and negotiating your insurance to day-to-day support and claims, they remain closely involved at every stage through to final compensation.

The team behind them

Our Administration and Claims Officers support the day-to-day execution, policy administration, certificates, declaration and practical claims handling.

How we work with you

Our involvement runs across the whole life of your cover, not just the point of placement.

01
Understand

We begin by understanding your operation in depth, your trade flows, commodities, contracts, counterparties and logistics, so we can identify where you are exposed.

02
Structure

We design cover around that reality, using our own broad policy wordings, so it is both technically sound and effective in practice.

03
Support

We stay involved day to day, with guidance on declarations, insured values, Incoterms and shipment requirements, so your cover is applied correctly and gaps do not arise.

04
Defend

When a loss occurs, we manage the claim hands-on: preparing your file, coordinating with surveyors, carriers and insurers, and defending your interests with underwriters to secure a proper recovery.

Built on our own policy wordings

  • Developed and refined over many years;
  • Broad, robust, and widely recognised;  
  • Fit for international trade.

Access to the right markets

As an independent broker, we place each risk where it is best covered. Over the years we have built a strong network of international A-rated Underwriters.This gives us access to broader capacity and a wider range of solutions. We see the relationship between client, broker and Underwriters as a long-term partnership; built on trust, transparency and a shared understanding of the risks.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

  • Will I have one contact, or deal with different people?

    You'll have one dedicated account manager who knows your account in full, supported by our administration and claims team. You won't have to re-explain your business each time you get in touch.

  • How involved are you when there's a claim?

    Closely involved, from the first notification to the final recovery. We prepare and structure your claim, coordinate with all parties, and defend your interests with underwriters.

  • Can I reach you outside office hours?

    Yes, when a matter is urgent. International trade does not always keep to office hours, and we remain reachable when it counts.

  • Do you only place cover, or advise as well?

    Both. We act as an advisor as much as a broker — anticipating issues, challenging assumptions, and helping you make informed decisions.
