Shop insurance in Corby
Corby, a Northamptonshire town built around its former steelworks, has its retail in the Willow Place centre and along Corporation Street, serving a growing town and its surrounding villages. Convenience and food retail are a strong part of the mix.
Where the risks come from for Corby shops
For food and convenience shops the exposure others do not face is refrigeration — a freezer or chiller failure overnight, or a power interruption, can spoil a whole stockholding of perishable goods before anyone notices. Alongside it run the ordinary retail losses of shrinkage, winter bursts and seasonal peaks.
A Corby example
A Corporation Street convenience store lost a full run of chilled and frozen stock when a compressor failed over a weekend and the goods were spoiled before Monday. Refrigerated-stock deterioration cover, a section many retailers overlook, was what answered the loss.
What shop insurance covers
For a Corby food or convenience shop, cover for deterioration of refrigerated stock earns its place alongside the stock, contents and business interruption at the core of any retail policy. Public and products liability, legally required employers' liability once staffed, money, glass and buildings cover (where the lease requires) complete it.
