Specialist insurer Rrelentless has introduced a new haulage insurance proposition.
It said the product had been designed to take account of increasing operational, regulatory and commercial pressures facing haulage operators and logistics businesses.
The new proposition combines fleet insurance backed by Zurich and legal services from haulage-specialised solicitors Backhouse Jones, alongside a package of inclusive risk management support services.

Rrelentless argues that many challenges facing hauliers extend beyond traditional insurance, and that its product has therefore been designed to combine insurance protection with practical risk and compliance support.
Legal advice is available to policyholders on topics ranging from employment and HR issues to health and safety, regulatory investigations, data protection, commercial matters, O-Licence compliance and OCRS performance. There are online risk management resources and training tools and a 24-hour emergency legal helpline.
Rrelentless aims to innovate with new product
Gary Gallen (pictured), chief executive officer at Rrelentless and its parent entity the Rradar group of companies, said: “This launch is founded on a clear opportunity to bring greater innovation to the haulage insurance market.
“Transport operators face increasingly complex risks, creating demand for solutions that extend beyond insurance alone.
“By combining Zurich’s five-star-rated capacity with Rrelentless’s specialist underwriting skills and leading sector specialists in Backhouse Jones, we have created a proposition that aligns insurance, legal expertise and risk management around a common goal: helping haulage operators manage risk more effectively and build greater resilience.”
Morgan Lyons, head of mid-market at Zurich, said: “We’re proud to bring this new haulage insurance proposition to market in partnership with Rrelentless. The team has built a reputation for challenging convention and putting customers first, making them an ideal partner for this launch.
“Together, we’ve developed a forward-thinking solution that reflects the evolving needs of the haulage industry, combining specialist cover, risk management expertise, and a unique approach to supporting operators in a rapidly changing environment.”
Mark Davies, director and head of road transport regulatory at Backhouse Jones, said: “As a firm that has proudly served and been associated with the transport sector for 200 years, we have always believed in standing shoulder to shoulder with operators through the challenges and opportunities that shape the industry.
“The needs of haulage businesses have never stood still, and neither has our commitment to supporting them.
