Insurer Questions

  • What products are supplied and what stock values are held?
  • Do you import, brand, relabel, repack, bundle or assemble products?
  • How are fragile goods stored, picked, packed, loaded and delivered?
  • Do customers collect from the warehouse or trade counter?
  • Are forklifts, racking, pallet networks, couriers or own vehicles used?

Stock, Racking and Transit

Bathroom equipment wholesalers often carry fragile and bulky stock that can be expensive to replace. Warehouse stock, racking, loading controls, goods in transit and business interruption should be reviewed around peak stock values and delivery methods.

Products Liability and Import Exposure

Product liability can become more important where the wholesaler imports, brands, repacks or specifies bathroom products. Insurers will usually want to understand the supply chain, quality controls, product types and whether goods are sold under your own label.
