Background

Freightcover was first developed and launched in January 2005 to overcome the potential loss of income for the logistics industry following the regulation of the insurance market by the FSA (Financial Services Authority).

Customers were potentially left unsure where they could purchase comprehensive cargo insurance without an annual purchase commitment. With freight crime on the increase, shipping without insurance was not an attractive option.

With de-regulation we have ensured that the benefits of convenience and cutting of administration can be retained as logistics providers once again are able to sell on insurance and earn the income that goes with it.

Freightcover

a&b launched freightcover.com the day regulation came into play in the UK and immediately customers had the option of obtaining cargo insurance on a shipment by shipment basis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Documentation was downloadable and cover was comprehensive and cost effective.

Following the great success of this product and the de-regulation of the industry, it was only natural that a&b would once again innovate to ensure there was an effective and immediate product for the logistics industry that gives them all the benefits of freightcover and none of the old headaches associated with insurance administration.

Here is an answer that is simple, convenient and cost effective.
