Protect Your Engineering Business with Tailored Cover from DPI Insurance

Running an engineering business comes with complex risks — from precision machinery and high-value tools to on-site safety and the burgeoning health and safety and risk assessment (RAMS) obligations. At DPI Insurance, we help engineers protect what matters most with specialist Insurance designed with the sector in mind.

We work with underwriters who understand the unique requirements of engineers, enabling us to recommend tailored policies designed specifically for the industry.

Our professional team of chartered insurance trained experts work closely with you to understand your risks and secure a policy that truly fits your business. Whether you’re in precision, mechanical or manufacturing engineering, we’ll find comprehensive, competitive cover from a panel of A-rated insurers, specialist underwriting agencies and the Lloyd’s market to suit your needs.

Experienced engineers know that issues rarely arise when purchasing insurance, but when making a claim. DPI differentiates itself by conducting detailed fact-finds, delivering professional advice and arranging comprehensive policy wordings to suit all engineer’s needs. Our depth of knowledge ensures you are fully protected, not only at the point of purchase but, critically, when a claim occurs.

Why Your Business Needs Engineering Insurance

Even the most experienced engineering firms face potential disruptions. Fire, flood, theft or a liability claim could cause serious financial disruption and operational strain. Engineering Insurance transfers those risks to an insurer — providing financial protection, legal compliance and peace of mind.

With DPI Insurance, you’ll benefit from:
• Tailored cover designed around your operations and risk profile
• Exclusive access to competitive engineering trade insurance rates
• Expert guidance from brokers who understand the engineering sector
• Dedicated claims support when you need it most

Engineering Insurance isn’t just a safety net — it’s an essential part of keeping your business running smoothly and safeguarding your reputation.

Depending on your activities, we can also arrange specialist cover such as:

• Marine Cargo Insurance – Covers loss or damage to goods while being transported, whether by road, rail, air or sea, including accidental damage and theft.
• Machinery Breakdown Insurance – Covers the repair or replacement of equipment and machinery following accidental mechanical or electrical failure, helping minimise disruption to your business operations.
• Cyber Insurance – Provides cover for financial losses, legal liability and expenses arising from cyber-attacks, data breaches and network failures.
