At C&C we are perfectly positioned to advise all types of transport and haulage operations in the UK, ranging in size from fleets of several hundred vehicles to one-man bands.
With over 50 years of experience as transport, haulage and logistics insurance brokers, our reputation within the UK haulage sector allows us to negotiate the best insurance portfolio for our clients. We are one of the leading independent providers of insurance broking services to the UK haulage industry, with long-standing relationships across an extensive network of specialist transport insurers.
We have a close working relationship with the RHA, and some members of our transport and haulage team have received ADR training, so you can be assured that you’ll be dealing with specialists. We understand the types of risk your business is exposed to and where to go in the market to find the right cover for you.
And it’s important to stress, we are NOT a call centre. We work hard to understand your business, its goals, its challenges and its culture. Our high retention and referral rates are down to the value our clients place on the relationships they have with our team, and the peace of mind that provides.
