Specialist avian influenza (AI) insurance

Services

Avian Influenza

As the ongoing crisis in the wild bird population continues, with outbreaks of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI) causing thousands of deaths, growers, egg producers and businesses that are ancillary to the primary farming and food production industries, must have contingency plans in place. The situation is compounded by agri-inflation and the increased financial risk the poultry and ancillary industries now face.

Many businesses are also unclear whether existing policy wordings can accommodate every scenario. Indeed, some producers are unaware of their responsibility to organise secondary cleaning and disinfection and that it is their responsibility to draw up an appropriate plan and obtain approval from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

What we do

Our team at Dallas Scott Davey, allied with a forward-thinking Lloyds underwriting capacity, is currently insuring against bird flu, as well as handling claims, on behalf of businesses throughout the industry.

Why should you call us?

Understanding the financials, the production process and the standards of existing biosecurity are key. However, it’s crucial to adopt a mindset around contingency planning. We work with clients to achieve all these objectives and we have a genuine understanding of what’s at stake.

With a combination of up-front financial planning upon which the underwriting hinges, and a clear understanding of the biosecurity measures adopted, individually tailored insurance cover is available. Most importantly we source policies that measure the true consequential loss to the business as a result of disruption caused by an outbreak, rather than basing cover around traditional material damage market valuations.

Plus, we can go further, to help clients understand the implications that lockdowns of neighbouring units could have, within any 3km prevention zone or the 10km surveillance zone. Alternatively, cover can be tailored for instances where multiple businesses operate from a location where a poultry unit is based, such as holiday homes, farm shops or retail units, to mitigate against possible interruption to those income streams as well.

The TL Dallas team ensures that ACS can secure credit insurance cover for new and existing customers, as well as giving the best advice on slow payers and claims. They have recently helped with an appeal regarding the payment of a claim, helping with cash flow. The pride they take in their work is truly inspiring going above and beyond. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for ACS."

“Truly a job well done and really appreciate all the discussions on our behalf.”
“I have been most impressed by the customer service from TL Dallas when a problem was discovered in the bathroom of a property which I own, and which is rented out. They were very patient when personal issues caused a delay in a quote coming to them and again when there was a delay with the invoice. We also couldn't be more delighted with the swift payment of our claim by the claims handling team at Aviva.”
“Just a brief note to say how grateful I am for all your help sorting out the hotel policy this year. Over the years I have valued your cooperation in getting not only the most appropriate cover but at the best price.”

“TL Dallas has offered us consistent, transparent, and clear advice over the years. A trusting partnership was established from day one and we feel assured that we have value for money alongside the cover we need, which in turn gives us peace of mind.”
James RycroftManaging Director, Vida Healthcare.
We have been dealing with TL Dallas for over 30 years and have always found them to be efficient. They have created insurance policies that are tailored to our needs, which has helped us evolve the company. Like every business, you only find out how good an insurance company is when you need to make a claim. This has been effortless when this has occurred and I strongly recommend TL Dallas for your insurance needs.
Peter DurkinManaging Director, Mini Gears (Stockport) Ltd
We are so grateful that you helped to resolve a situation that was causing us great concern. After being badly let down by our previous insurance provider, and after seven months of emails, phone calls and lost documents, we decided to try elsewhere. After only one week of contacting TL Dallas, we had our policy sorted and at a much lower price, which in this current economic climate makes a huge difference to us. Your professionalism and knowledge of the Social Care Sector is second to none and we are so pleased that we took the decision to move to TL Dallas. We will definitely be recommending TL Dallas to our colleagues within the care sector, and we look forward to a long and enduring working relationship as we move our business forward.
