Cowens Group has developed, in partnership with the British Barbers Association (BBA), a new insurance product specifically for the barber industry.
Called “Cowens BarberSure,” the proposition features tailor-made policies that insure barbershop owners and their premises as well as freelancers.
Protection for barbers can include public liability insurance and money cover as well as coverage against personal accident and risks to tools and equipment, while shops can have insurance for public and product liability, contents and stock, business interruption, and employer’s liability.
“As insurance partners of the British Barbers Association, we work closely with the industry and understand how businesses in the sector operate,” said Cowens Group chief executive Paul Chaplin (pictured while getting a trim from BBA’s Gary Machin).
“What suits the owner of a small chain of barbershops won’t be right for a freelancer who rents a chair – both end up either with inadequate coverage or paying for things they don’t need.”
The official launch of Cowens BarberSure will take place at next month’s Salon International event in London.
