Stand L30
HomePro's
presence at this year's Bathroom & Kitchen Expo will be in the guise
of group companies HomePro Insurance and FairTrades - respectively Britain's
leading provider of Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBGs) and foremost multi-trade
association.
The
company will be announcing a number of major initiatives and developments
- from enhancing consumer leads for its trade professional members and
exciting discount opportunities from leading materials suppliers; through
to ways of increasing sales through consumer finance packages.
In the particular, HomePro Insurance offers a dedicated warranty product
for the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom retail installation sector. The
company's IBG scheme for the KBB sector is a four-stage product covering
deposits, stage payments, work in progress and quality of workmanship
for up to a decade.
Providing the highest standards of value and reassurance to the industry,
the IBG is cost-effectively priced and highly competitive compared to
those sourced from other providers or trade associations. Premiums not
only cover the cost of the installer's own guarantee; but also provide
the bonus of deposit protection up to 25% of the contract value which
may be asked of a customer at the start of a project. This level of cover
makes closing the sales process much easier because customers are so much
happier handing over the deposit safe in the knowledge that it is fully
protected.
The IBG policy also covers an installer's guarantee obligations for periods
up to an industry-leading 10 years. All HomePro insurance products are
underwritten 'on shore': IBGs by IGI Insurance Company Ltd and Red Sands
Insurance Company (Europe) Ltd; while other policies, such as Public Liability
- are underwritten by Allianz Cornhill.
