Spring 2024

Welcome to the Spring 2024 edition of intouch!

Among the articles featured in this edition, we take a look at the new Building Safety Act 2022 and explain why we don’t foresee any impact on the availability or the price of our Building Regulations policies. You’ll find a case study that takes a detailed look at a claim made on a Lack of Listed Buildings consent policy that centred around a 25-year-old swimming pool, and we tell you about some changes and a new face in our Business Development team. Make sure you don't miss our competition – you could win a Sage Barista Pro coffee machine!

If you'd like to talk to us about any of the topics discussed in our articles, or to simply find out more about our products and services, call 01603 617617 or email enquiries@cli.co.uk.

Thrown in at the deep end - a claims case study

New line up for our Business Development team

Our Business Development team started 2024 with some staff moves, a new face joining, and even a new manager!
