September’s Water Jetting Association Trade Show was a fantastic day for us and the industry. 
We were proud to sponsor and host a stand at the event, which brought together contractors, suppliers, and innovators from across the drainage and water jetting sector. It was a great opportunity to connect with professionals and share insights on how to protect against the risks and challenges faced on-site every day by those in the trade.
One of the highlights was our interactive ‘Higher or Lower’ insurance game, which proved hugely popular with visitors. It sparked conversations about real-world safety and risk management, while keeping things fun and engaging. It was brilliant to see so many getting involved and enjoying the day. Congratulations again to Dalrod, who won our top prize – two tickets to the England versus Fiji rugby match.
As a specialist insurance broker for drainage and water jetting contractors, we understand that this trade is unique. From confined spaces to high-pressure water jetting, the risks are very real and so is the need for tailored insurance protection. That’s why we go beyond the basics. I’ve invested in my own trade knowledge, completing the High Pressure Water Jetting training course with the WJA earlier this year to go along other trade qualifications I’ve completed in the past. This hands-on experience means we don’t just talk about risk – we understand it from the contractor’s perspective.
Our goal is simple: to provide insurance solutions that genuinely fit the needs of drainage and water jetting professionals. Whether it’s liability cover, plant and equipment protection, or safeguarding against unexpected exposures, we’re here to help contractors stay protected and keep their businesses running smoothly.
