Advantage spotlight
You’ll be keen to know about the following.
Travelers’ office insurance products hold a number of features that distinguish them from competitor offerings. Policyholders across the UK will have access to these unique advantages to help their office locations operate with maximum confidence.
Multinational reach
Travelers can tailor cover that addresses key exposures for companies with offices in more than 150 countries. With a responsive network built up through our ‘best-of’ approach, policyholders will have access to covers determined by current and in-depth knowledge of local markets.

Criminal Protection Response
Many mid-market sized companies operate on a global basis, with offices located in multiple countries. Travelers Criminal Protection Response (CPR) is there for businesses that do not have the in-house capability to handle criminal incidents that occur outside of their UK locations.

Legal sector enhancements
Travelers’ legal sector enhancements offer an extensive insurance package of property, liability and business interruption cover for legal companies. In addition, policyholders will have direct access to our dedicated claims handling and risk management teams.

First recovery
Helping to get businesses back up and running
Many businesses worry about an unexpected incident causing an unavoidable pause in regular operations. That’s why Travelers includes the First Recovery service as standard, with no extra cost to our office insurance policyholders.
This disaster recovery service offers practical help and support which businesses will need to operate as normal ASAP. Should an insured event such as fire, flood or explosion occur on premises, policyholders will be covered for:
- Temporary business relocation − including up to 12 employees − to one of 500 recovery locations around the UK
- IT network, broadband, reception and printing facilities provided, so affected businesses can continue operating with minimal impact to staff and customers
- Reinstatement of email domain and redirection of phone calls
- An event manager who will attend the relocation and oversee service delivery on site
With First Recovery, an incident doesn’t need to stall office operations.

Legal expenses cover
Even when business is going well, a company can face a broad range of legal challenges, from disputes with staff to issues with contracts. If a company needs to defend a claim, our legal expenses cover can protect them against the associated expenses.
Business questions
These questions will give you a sense of the information needed to write a policy.
- For a property to be insured, Travelers needs to know the full construction information. We’ll ask:
- Are there any composite panels?
- If so, what is the core filling?
- What is the security and access control procedures for the premises?
- What employee support programmes do you provide?
- Is there a current employee training regime?
- What counselling or similar support services do you have in place for employees?
Lets get specific
These are the kinds of detailed questions we will ask to better understand day-to-day operations.
Where a higher money limit or computer sum insured is declared, we’ll need to understand the security of the premises in more detail. We’ll ask for details on alarms and maintenance contracts, as well as any physical security and security patrols.
To insure a property, we’ll ask for full construction information; if there are any composite panels, we’ll need to know the core filling. We’ll also want to understand the security and access control procedures for the premises.
Although office/clerical trades are generally seen as a lower employers’ liability risk, there is still the need to ensure strong levels of staff training, ongoing engagement and staff well-being support.
Some businesses, particularly those in the legal and financial sectors, can be highly pressurised. That’s why it’s important for us to have a good understanding of these operational aspects. This will include questions around ongoing training regimes and counselling, or other similar support services in place.
