ABOUT US Independent Insurance Brokers with over 60 years' of specialist knowledge

Who we are

Mann Broadbent was established in 1961 by its founders, Bob Mann and Bob Broadbent, with the intention of providing the necessary cover for teams engaged in amateur sports. Bob Mann’s background was in football, not only as a player but later as a Football League, F.I.F.A. and Olympic Games referee and an administrator at County F.A. level. Bob Broadbent’s background was in cricket. He was, for many years, a regular first-eleven batsman with Worcestershire County Cricket Club.

The business was subsequently acquired by Sutcliffe & Co, a family-owned independent insurance broker in Worcester. Under their management, the business has prospered and grown into other sports and leisure pursuits, including dance.

Mann Broadbent continues to grow by providing insurance advice and good service to individuals and organisations whilst maintaining the personal service and one-to-one relationships that the business was founded upon over 60 years ago.

Firework events are great fun if run responsibly – but even with the best planning, things can go wrong. That’s why having specialist insurance in place is so important. Firework display insurance can cover: • Public liability claims from attendees or staff • Damage to equipment • Injuries related to the fireworks • Event cancellation due to adverse weather Remember: firework-related incidents are not usually covered under standard club or event insurance, so it’s vital to review your policy or speak to a broker well in advance. Don’t leave it to chance, get ahead and get protected. Call 01905 612336 or visit mannbroadbent.co.uk for tailored advice. #FireworkInsurance #EventInsurance #BonfireNight #EventPlanning #PublicLiability #MannBroadbent #RiskManagement #EventSafety #ClubInsurance

If you provide coaching, advice or consultancy, you could be liable for errors, even if unintentional. Professional indemnity insurance protects you from legal claims and compensation costs. It is worth checking your Public Liability cover small print as some insurers have what they call an ‘advice’ inclusion, or extension, to the public liability policy, which is effectively professional indemnity cover. If you’re unsure what cover you have or whether it’s the right cover you need, contact us for advice and help. Talk to us today about tailored cover - 01905 612336 or enquiry@mannbroadbent.co.uk #ProfessionalIndemnity #BusinessCover #CoachInsurance #MannBroadbent
