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."
