This insurance policy is suitable for those looking to cover their work with and without the use dogs for static and mobile security work. It is not suitable for those who wish to cover front of house or door supervision.

While you’re busy keeping people and places safe, we’ll get busy arranging the right insurance cover.

Working in the security industry can be a risky business. That’s why you should choose to place your business protection with a trusted broker

Safe and secure with Cliverton

Our Cliverton sourced security insurance policy is ideal for those who work with specially trained security patrol dogs.

We understand how important dogs can be to the security sector. That’s why, working closely with NASDU, we have developed the Cliverton ‘Loss of use for working dogs’ policy which will provide cover should your dog become unable to work.

Although we specialise in animal trades, we also cover security businesses without dogs too.  From retail security, CCTV installation and public event stewarding to dog restraint and detection or dog handler training, Cliverton is well-equipped to understand your security business risks and insurance requirements.
