Towergate have been dealing with Farm Insurance for many years, we have grown and developed alongside the changing times of the agriculture industry, expanding to understand the developments and challenges you face in modern times. Using an advisory based approach we review your requirements to find the most competitive insurance package for you. Our online Risk Management tool allows you to build a Health & Safety policy online at your fingertips.
If you keep farm machinery, produce or deadstock, or farm buildings, our policies can provide insurance designed and tailored for your farm. If you are a livestock farmer, we can tailor a policy which insures you for a large variety of risks including options for loss of stray animals, theft, transit, mysterious disappearance, electrocution and fire.
In a modern world diversification is playing a large part in the way farms drive revenue. Be sure to let us know how you are diversifying away from standard farm activities so we can provide a tailored policy matched to your risks. Speak to us about livery yards, farm shops, shooting, camping, agricultural contracting, renewable energy and wind turbines, B&B and holiday lets, commercial property and even drone insurance.
We understand that most farmers may have the need to insure on a multi vehicle basis including private cars, commercial vehicles and agricultural vehicles. We offer cover which can group all your farm vehicles under one policy which typically extends to include trailer implements cover too. Of course, if you only own one vehicle whether it be a tractor or quad bike, we can cover that too.
A full and dedicated claim handling service is provided and in the event of a claim and we offer telephone advice from our team of professionals whenever you require assistance. This means our experts are always on hand to discuss your requirements in the event of a claim.
