Started in 1964 Richards Builders Merchants is a family business now run by brothers Adrian and Kevin Richards. The company supply local builders, property developers and DIY enthusiasts with all sorts of building materials from tools and timber to electrical products and garden paving.
Based in Doublebois near Liskeard they have a large stock area, three sheds of materials, a shop, bespoke timber cutting service and a fleet of vehicles some of which are used for deliveries. With the help of 14 staff the company is going from strength to strength.
Their business insurances with Cornish Mutual include cover for their commercial vehicles, public and employer’s liability insurance, business interruption and loss of stock.
On a regular basis Cornish Mutual’s surveyor will visit Richard Builders Merchants to check items like the site’s security, alarms, health and safety standards and fire hazards in order to help work with them to reduce the risk of an accident or interruption to the business.
Kevin says
“We like the fact that we insure with a locally based company and have a local Insurance Inspector who offers us a personal face to face service by visiting us on a regular basis.
It is important that we have the right insurance to cover our stock, buildings and business income if anything went wrong. Cornish Mutual offers us a good service that helps ensure that the business would keep going even if something untoward happened.”
