We have launched a new division to help local businesses negotiate the minefield of Health and Safety legislation.
Henshalls, which has offices in Newport and Shrewsbury, has welcomed Matt Reeves to the team, who is a Health and Safety specialist.
He will lead the company's newest service, which aims to help businesses keep up-to-date with the constantly changing rules.
Henshalls Director, Tony Conlon, said: "With so many changes in Health & Safety legislation, many companies find it difficult to keep on top of the latest regulations.
"So we've introduced the new service to meet the individual needs of all kinds of businesses, irrespective of the industry sector they're in.
"Our team will give effective and appropriate advice in clear and simple terms, to help businesses determine which rules apply to them, and which rules are inappropriate for their situation."
Tony said the new division was a welcome addition to the services offered by Henshalls, and would complement their existing business.
"Health and Safety and insurance are inseparable. All insurance policies contain a condition that the business must comply with all legal requirements and safety regulations.
"So launching our own Health and Safety team is the next logical step in delivering even greater levels of customer service to our clients. It's the perfect solution for every business that is not fortunate enough to have access to in-house safety experts.
"We can help prevent companies wasting considerable sums of money on unnecessary assessments, and so reduce accident claims, uninsured accident costs, and higher insurance premiums. We do this by looking at each company's individual needs and developing bespoke policies which fit their organisation more appropriately."
Henshalls is one of Shropshire's largest independent insurance firms, and has been in business for over 40 years, employing a team of 30 staff. It offers business insurance products providing essential cover for small to medium sized companies, and a range of personal insurance polices to cover all kinds of domestic situations.
